Telephone (NPC)
Text Messages
In this RPG you are permitted to make phone calls and IM chats and to send text messages via cell phones. Each house and apartment will be equipped with a phone-line, and every character will have an email address and an IM Screen Name.

We would appreciate it if you kept text messages are kept to a minimum, it helps with the realism aspect and it’s much more fun to interact one-on-one.

There are several steps to sending a text message

Step 1: Sending A Text Message
 

In order to send a message, the character who wishes to send the text message, must clearly state in a post that they are sending a text message and who they want to send the message to. In order to send a text message something like this must be included in the post.
Example
 

Jonathon slides open his Nokia N95 and begins looking through his contacts. He finds Hannah and decides to send her a text message

In order to send and receive text messages, the sender and recipient must both have cell phones.


Step 2: The Text Message Itself
 

After you have made your initial post stating that you are sending a text message, you must post in the appropriate topic in the Telephones forum. After this, the text message will look like a regular text message and should therefore look something like this:
Example
 

Hey han, what did we have to do for English on Monday?


Step 3: Recieving The IM
 

Once the post in the telephone has been made, a post will be made by the account Telephone saying that the message has been delivered. If the recipient’s cell phone is on, a further post will be made by Telephone in the recipients current thread stating they have an text messag waiting for them. It will then be up to the recipient whether or not to reply to the text. If the text is replied to, these steps must be repeated

Please remember that in order to send text messages, both the recipient and the sender must have a cell phone.
