Text Me 

 

What stories and secrets are buried in your mobile?

What stories lie in your phone memory? Perhaps the last message you received from a relative who passed away, the first text your child sent you, a text that broke your heart, a text that fixed it, a text that bought you good news or bad...or simply a message you don't want to forget. Share a story you want to see grow, or one you want to let go...    will they be TEXT MESSAGE RIP or TEXT MESSAGE VIP?

Terms and conditions

The TEXT ME project explores how we can collect, curate and share the stories of our recent digital past.

 

Have you a text message you regret sending or receiving or one that you treasure? If so, share your message on one of the three TEXT ME mobiles. Links above. T and C apply.

 

Please make sure your stories are submitted anonymously. Thank you.
