- Put your phone on vibrate or silent mode when texting back and forth with someone. Everyone doesn't need to hear your favorite ringtone every time you get a text.
- Check the recipient's number one last time BEFORE you hit "send." A slip of the finger could easily send a wrong person that intimate message intended for your significant other.
- Take precautions to protect private or personal text messages since you never know who might be snooping. While a high percentage of people lower their voices when they talk on their cell phones in public, a few actually shield their cell phone when sending or receiving text messages.
- Beware of texting when out with friends. It's disrespectful and can give the impression that you aren't paying attention to the conversation.
- If you are expecting a text message let the people you're with know.
- Don't get into the habit of marathon texting. if you need to use more than 150 characters to go back and forth more than two or three times send and email or call.
- Avoid using text-message speak, abbreviations or emoticons since not everyone may know what you mean. Especially when texting work colleagues, use correct capitalization (And remember ALL CAPS EQUAL YELLING), punctuation, salutations and closings, and proofread for both spelling and grammar.
I'm sure there are a few more that others might have. So, please feel free to add more to this if you want.
