Text-telephone manners
GA When you talk with another person by text tele-
phone, you type while the other person reads.
When you want the other person to respond, type
GA for “Go ahead.”
GA OR SK To say goodbye, type GA OR SK. This gives the
other person a chance to say any last words before
ending the conversation.
SKSK To end the conversation, type SKSK.
Q Some people prefer to type Q instead of a question
mark because it saves time and is easier to type.
You can use punctuation marks such as commas and periods,
although many people choose to omit them. You may also
abbreviate words, such as:
GA go ahead OPR operator
SK stop keying PLS please
CD could Q question mark
CUL see you later R are
COS because SHD should
HD hold, please THX thanks
