Self Destruct Messages

“This tape will self-destruct in five seconds”

Familiar with that phrase? Yes, of course, it is from Mission Impossible. But you can do that in reality if you are in UK for now. But Barnum chief exec and co-founder of Staellium UK said the company will begin rolling out the technology in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. in early 2006

“This tape will self-destruct in five seconds” became a household phrase thanks to a new innovation – called StealthText launched by Staellium UK Ltd.

Registering is done through sending the text word 'stealth' to 80880, and costs £5 for ten self-destructing messages.

Some people are already worried that this service will be primarily used by unfaithful spouses rather than businessmen, and they might be right.

Last year messages sent by David Beckham to Rebecca Loos caused the England soccer star much embarrassment. At least that kind of events might not be repeated.
