Ever wanted to unite two love-lorn friends in a romantic tryst with a single, well-phrased text message? Or perhaps scare an irritating colleague with a threatening text from your boss.
If so, technology is at hand to help. A service provided by two websites now allows people to choose both the originator and destination for a text. As a result, you can send a message, via the internet, to one mobile that appears to have come from someone else's phone. Your identity is kept secret.
Thus you can send a message to your employer, declaring your undying love - or possibly total hatred - that apparently comes from a colleague's mobile. If the boss replies, perhaps reciprocating such feelings, it will go to the colleague's mobile.
Danny Fletcher, the creator of the Sharpmail.co.uk site, which enables people to send the anonymous prank texts at £1 a time, said it is intended only as harmless fun.
