&&. GUIDELINES
First off, DO NOT make a post until you have sent a PM to the PHONE SERVICE. They will reply with the code you are to use for the start of your thread. Once you have your code, make a new post on the "phone calls &&. texts" board with your character's phone number. Paste in the code given. Reply to your own thread with the second code you are given from the PHONE SERVICE.
When people post voicemail messages or texts on your thread, allow the PHONE SERVICE to make updates. The PHONE SERVICE will modify your original post, adding in your new messages. They will then delete the posts made by others so that your thread does not get cluttered. Once you have read a new message, you can either erase the "New!" part to keep it in your message or erase the whole message. You are also responsible for updating the "You have _ messages, _ are new."
You may edit other areas of your initial post in your thread, such as your answering machine and ringtones, but please DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMAT or add any additional information than what is asked for. We want to keep this board nice and orderly.
To send a text, post the filled out form on that person's thread (remember to actually include [*code][*/code] without the asterisks!). As said before, the PHONE SERVICE will update the person's initial post to let them see that they have an unread message. For a person to text you back, they are to post the same filled out code on your thread. If the text goes back and forth quickly (before the PS has a chance to update your initial post), then don't worry - you can still carry on your messaging, the PHONE SERVICE will just make the updates later. It will then be up to you to save or delete the texts.
Finally, if you want to engage in an actual call with someone, you must post on the "&&. phone conversations" board. Title this thread with the number you are calling in (XXX) XXX - XXXX format. When actually on the phone with someone, you are to role play out the conversation, using a minimum of 300 words.
If there are any questions, please contact the PHONE SERVICE with a message titled "HELP".
