A service provided by two websites now allows people to choose both the originator and destination for a text. As a result, you can send a message, via the internet, to one mobile that appears to have come from someone else's phone. Your identity is kept secret. Thus you can send a message to your employer, declaring your undying love - or possibly total hatred - that apparently comes from a colleague's mobile. If the boss replies, perhaps reciprocating such feelings, it will go to the colleague's mobile. Or if you felt the need, you could use the service as bait with which to entrap a philandering partner. The crucial point is that the only way a sender's true identity can be revealed is if he or she owns up, or police seek the information from the site owner. It is a prankster's dream come true, though for those who prefer texting to talking, the service could spell the end of civilisation. You will never be able to trust a text again.
