    lol... nothing serious here, just a kind of clever prank taking advantage of how the iPhone shows the person on the other end is actively typing a message.

    This is where the pranksters from Miscellaneous Mischief come into the picture. They've built a little single serve website called "Infinite Text-In-Progress" that helps you trick your iPhone-toting friends into thinking they're receiving a text. All it takes is a tiny animated gif that matches the text-in-progress symbol for the iPhone. Just open the page on your phone, tap the animated gif, hit save, and then send it to your friend as an picture text. (Alternatively, you can just copy the image from the page and paste it in a text.) She'll think you're about to send her a text, but alas, you're not.
    Can't get away with that on BBM!! (Although you also can't see in-line gifs... =/ )

    You can do this easily on BBM; simply change your status message to "is typing a message".
