Send self-destructing SMS messages on BlackBerry

We have all had those times where we have had sensitive information to send to people, only to find that it has been forwarded to others without consent. Or, what about those times where you send something that you regret? BigString Corporation has just the solution, and it comes in the form of a software program called SMS Eraser.

Using the program, users can send SMS text messages, and have them self-destruct in a set time period, or after a certain number of views. The program costs $29.95, and is only available for BlackBerry devices at this time. The software supports BlackBerry OS 4.1-4.6. and can be downloaded via CrackBerry's online software store.

Perhaps in the future, the software can play the Mission Impossible theme song before it self-destructs the message. A suggestion for a future version, we suppose.

So how does it erase itself once its been delivered to the target handset? I dont doubt it works but deleting information from another persons machine without there consent(unless your bb of course) sounds illegal. Id be interested to know how it deletes itself.

You people are all stupid. Both phones would have to have this retarded software in order for it to work. So the receiving person could forward the txt of an sms and only hope that the next persons phone honors the time-delayed erasure or deletion.

I hate people who make retarded software and prey on all you stupid retards out there. Hope you all pay hundreds for it and may you never realize your stupidity.

Thats not how the software works!!!! Ha.ha. ha. heee. heee. The only one that is stupid is YOU... Perhaps you should have downloaded the free trial and tried it yourself before opening your mouth!

I absolutely love people who are this sure of themselves and so full of it...hee hee You made my day!
By the way found any of the weapons of mass destruction yet George?

How are we going to pay hundreds for it when its $29.95? Oh we are probably going to drop a hundred dollar bill on the table and tell them to keep the change? I hate stupid ignorant people that think they know what they are talking about but have no idea about anything.

Bomb idea though. I would personally not pay for the feature but if it were free I'd def give it a go. I have sent the message that you don't want forwarded or kept on the end users phone so this is a pretty solid idea. Drop the price and we are in business
