Remember

…when only Tories had phone contracts and there were no free text deals so you’d use free-SMS websites to text yer pals? How weird does that seem now?

Forgotten about those free SMS websites. Great fun, especially having to use a whole bunch of your limited characters to add your name in.

The end for free SMS?

January 2001!!!

They’d be so bad for abuse nowadays aswell. Never remember any of that. Used to text mates when they were really stoned with stuff like ‘Matt. What are you doing with your life?’ but nothing cruel.

Oh wow the nostalgia.

Remember on all the music channels they used to advertise phone services like love calculators, where you text it two names and it would tell you the comparability? Was probably a fiver a throw. They must have been taking it in.

YES.

Always assumed you were younger than 28.

Did you have a uBoot account? Always ask people but they’re non-plussed, so i say ‘yknow, before Faceparty’, not got a clue.

I used cbfsms to text my flatmate that I was quitting uni. Realised afterwards that if you have the ‘allow replies’ box ticked it adds ‘tb’ to the end of the text, so I basically sent her ‘quitting uni tb’ as though I was really needy and needed a response from her even though I barely spoke to my flatmates.

Ahaha.

Do you guys like trance music?
