Self destruct SMS Messages
Ever heard of self destruct email messages? Well the news is that the SMS messages are now also going to get self destruct enabled. This will mean that now the message sender will be in control of the messages even after it is sent and will be able to destroy their message on will, anytime.
This technology is based on WAP and a basically when a message a sent it won’t be directly delivered to the inbox of the receiver, in fact only a link to the SMS message will be pushed to mobile subscriber who will than retrieve the message by going to that link.
I wonder that than you will also be able to track that how many times was your SMS message opened and for how long it was viewed etc?
