 |
|
Hi Everybody,
in European countries a text message is referred to as SMS - short message service. But in England when I want to say: "I'll send you a TEXT MESSAGE" can I say it a more abbreviated form like the SMS?
TIA,
Kate. |

I don't know about England, but in the U.S., it is common to say, "I'll TM you / text you" or "He texted me / TM'd me." We never use the term "SMS."
