Anonymous Text Messages 
The ability to send anonymous messages, could damage the wireless industry.This will give spammers free reign of text messaging without having to face consequences.
The following is an excerpt from a press release I read.
"19secret.com.au launched today by Beep Interactive Pty Ltd. 19secret is a service that allows people to send anonymous and masked ("spoofed") SMS messages from their mobile phone. Usually when you send an SMS, the sender's number is displayed and the recipient can identify whom it is from. With 19secret you can hide the sender's number (an anonymous SMS) or replace it with another name or number."

Verona asks visitors to pledge love by SMS
Scribbled love notes cover the walls around the tiny marble balcony where the mythical Juliet is said to have pined for Romeo, but Verona wants amorous visitors to go digital in the interest of preservation.
Authorities in Verona, the northern Italian city that is home to literature's most famous star-crossed lovers, say thousands of notes are destroying the 13th Century house.
"It is time to clean the building, because people aren't just writing on the walls of entrance arch, they are sticking notes on the walls with gum," the Verona council's Francesca Tamellini said.
"It has become really ugly."
Verona plans instead to ask visitors to use their mobile phones and send text messages to a giant screen.
