Sometimes sms between subscribers of two different telco can take quiet long. Anyone encounter this before? For example M1 to singtel - takes 1 hour or more to reach.

I would feel insecure... what if something happened to the receiver of the sms....
sgboy2004
is there such a thing as "auto-sms read reply"?

Call M1 give one excuse, call singtel give another excuse...so in the end don't know whose problem the delay is due to.

SMS etiquette has not broadened significantly yet and the rampant SMSing everywhere marginises basic courtesy.
I dun mind zero response but a delayed response of 1 week is worse.

sometimes the person might b in a meeting or left his hp in his drawer or talking 2 his boss or something. cant expect instant reply wat!!!

hehe.. i dun always reply sms instantly.... and i've got frens who will sms then say they dun require reply, so we can save on 1 sms to just reply "ok" or "orh..."

If there is no question marks used in the message, I don't expect any replies. Otherwise we'll be playing tennis.

I will get worried if the person is someone special to me. But then sad to realise there's no reply bcos that person can't be bothered to reply me.
But I know of cowards who choose to breakup relationship but not returning SMSes..just simply go MIA.

nothing, ppl r not holding on to their phone all the time.

i'll probably pass it off as that person got something important to do, like answering a nature's call. then get on with life. then go back check phone for reply. by then, the person might have already thought, "starblue must be answering nature's call again."

if text msg have question mark or watever, i expect reply within 4 hours to around maybe 10mins. If not, its more of a FYI thing.

depends on who the person is,but if its a question i'll quite possibly get annoyed..

i will feel ignored. and since i dont like the feeling, i will call them and give them a scolding and demand a treat as compensation. then after the treat, i will not reply to their sms and say its revenge.
