We’ve all thought twice about it. You want to send a top-secret text (aka SMS) message to someone, but you don’t want to take the chance of them forgetting to erase it and it being viewed by the wrong eyes. It could be something as simple as a juicy piece of gossip that you swore you’d never tell another soul. Or it could be as serious as your secure ATM password that your spouse can never seem to remember more than 5 minutes.
Whatever your reason for needing to delete text messages, BlackBerry and the SMS Eraser have come to the rescue. Created by BigString Corporation (and available for purchase on their website), this application retails for as little as $29.99. SMS Eraser offers self-destructing text messaging and self-destructing picture sharing (MMS). When sending a self-destructing message or picture, it does not allow either to be forwarded and printing or copying either is nearly impossible.
Messages can be set to self-destruct within a predetermined time limit or after a preset number of views. Messages are then erased off of both the sending and receiving BlackBerry devices and cannot be recovered. This added level of security is great for high-level corporate use, sensitive security information or the every day BlackBerry consumer who desires control over certain shared information and photos.
SMS Eraser for BlackBerry also features full texting capabilities for regular text messaging and picture sharing when information does not need to be erased. It also allows for group creation in order to send messages to entire groups.
As you can see, SMS Eraser offers a full range of messaging options that you can control directly from your BlackBerry. As we are now full immersed in the area of mobile and digital communication, SMS Eraser is a handy tool with many possibilities.
So queue the Mission Impossible music as this message will self-destruct in 5, 4, 3, 2…
