message on PDA's
All the PDA's in our office recieved a message today saying 'please reply to this message :)' did anyone else have this on theirs? it said it was sent from depot. I think someone was bored and thought it would be fun to send it

Re: message on PDA's
Wish I'd thought of that. Wonder what it was all about and how much that cost Royal Mail to send all those txt messages around the country ? Suppose it was a test of some sort, beats the last one our office got saying "you're fired _____ only joking "

Re: message on PDA's
I received that message aswell, I just put 'reply as requested' then sent it.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet

"Your message has just made me crash the van" I didn't use the PDA today so I didn't get the message but it would have been fun to send that message.

Re: message on PDA's
It is probably two tits who no one speaks too now :cfo & :lfo trying to fill their time with their childish antic's!. I have a job too do so deleted it so it was a good job the PDA was in the back of the van at the time or may have crash the van!. They should be sacked for sending these silly message's while we work our sock's off whoever they are!.

Re: message on PDA's
The battery went flat on mine today as I finished after the office closed on Sat and it hasn't been charged as the bracket in the van is f****ed. loads of our vauxhall vans have broken brackets mainly cos they're made of cheese. . Are other offices the same?

Re: message on PDA's
Our PDA users had a message pretty soon after we started using them it said "You're fired" and was signed by a manager and I was accused of sending it - fat chance, I haven't even got a mobile phone and as for texting - ha.

Re: message on PDA's
As far as I remember, there's an option on blackbay website from where you send and receive the texts and there's 2 options; one to send a message to your office's PDAs and one to send to all users which is every single PDA in the country. I THINK anyway.
One of our guys for that text today but no one else said anything about it.
