Flirt By Text

from the flirt,-tantalise-and-tease- dept

Virgin Mobile in the UK is getting ready to launch an anonymous text flirting system for mobile phone users. Basically, it's just another way to get people to send more SMS messages, which, (because they're anonymous, I presume) are more likely to be flirty. The Register accused Virgin of just trying to suck more money out of consumers, and Virgin says they're just being cynical. I don't think there's any debate on that point.

    Sonera Zed has provided such a service in Finland for few months. Unfortunately this anonymous service has been used to send obscene messages too. Of course Zed mentions that inappropriate message can be traced.
