Vodafone offers secret love messages

NEWS Admirers wishing to send loved ones a romantic message this Valentine's Day can do so anonymously, according to Vodafone. Vodafone subscribers can access the Secret Message Service by dialling 9743 before the destination number. A note, ditty or sonnet can then be sent anonymously. Vodafone claims it's the latest way to find your perfect partner, having already matched two couples who had never met before. The UK mobile communications company has also identified a new language amongst users of the service: R U 3 2 NITE, WAN2 C U L8R and WOT U DOIN L8R are examples of the language used to keep messages concise. The service runs from 1 to 14 February and costs the price of a normal text message - 10p - plus VAT.
