Fakemytext.com lets you set the originator; wind folk up

Fakemytext.com is a service similar to the likes of Textanonymous and the raft of anonymous texting services out there.

I don’t have a real issue with these types of services – that is, until someone sends a fake text from my number and causes no small amount of havoc.

I think there’s definitely a humour element to them — I’m sure it’s quite a fun tool to wind up your friends, particularly if they don’t quite know that text messages can be so easily faked. However, the moment that someone goes to the media with this sort of thing or a related story, there will be huge pressure piled on the regulator and the regulator will all-of-a-sudden announce an immediate investigation and, before you know it, aggregators will be told to tighten up their dynamic-originator services. I can absolutely see that happening.

Meantime…. 😉
