If you use a cell phone, chances are you send and receive more text messages than phone calls. According to text message etiquette, how should you be notified of text messages while at work? Is it okay to send personal text messages while at work? Why or why not? Should messages be short or long? Is it okay to use text message "slang?"
What will be an ideal response?
Text message notification: Set your cell phone to vibrate: To avoid interrupting colleagues, set your phone to vibrate when receiving text messages. If you are receiving only personal messages, it is better to turn off the phone completely.
No personal messages at work: Text at work only for work purposes: Exchanging text messages can be an effective way to keep in touch with colleagues, but avoid doing so when you have other professional responsibilities.
Keep messages short: Text messages are designed to be short and informal. Send longer messages via e-mail or cover a more formal topic in a phone call.
Avoid slangy shorthand: Unless you're a teen writing personal messages, avoid using shorthand, which is far too informal in professional communication.
