How can I hide incoming text messages on my iPhone?
Okay, this is embarrassing. I was at an important business meeting and as usual, we all put our cellphones in the middle of the table before we started talking. Then a text message from my girlfriend showed up on my iPhone 4 with a, um, suggestive picture of her. My boss grabbed it, read the message out to everyone and raised his eyebrows at the photo. Super embarrassing! Short of telling her not to text me, how can I avoid this kind of situation in the future?

SMS text message fail on my iPhone? Now what?
I've never seen this before, but on the icon for Messages on my iPhone 4, there's a small white exclamation mark in a red circle. Not a number indicating how many new text messages I have, but an exclamation mark. Apparently that shows up when something failed. Now what??

Include a photo in an iPhone SMS text message?
My sister sends photographs in the text messages she sends me from her iPhone, but on my iPhone I can't see how to do the same thing. Is there some trick to this, or something I need to enable on the iPhone to text message photos? Or is it something I need to sign up for with AT&T?

How do I copy / paste a Web URL on my iPhone?
Sometimes when I'm browsing the Web on my Apple iPhone 4, I bump into a Web page that I'd like to send to a friend or two via text message. I know that there's a way to email someone the URL of a page I'm viewing, but how can I just get the URL into the copy/paste buffer so I can paste it anywhere?

iPhone beep repeatedly on new text messages?
This is just weird. In the last month or so my Apple iPhone has started beeping for an incoming text message multiple times if I don't indicate that I've read it, whereas before it just notified me once and was satisfied with that. Has something evil happened to my iPhone that everything's in triplicate now?

How to set a custom iPhone text message alert?
In the latest version of Apple's iPhone operating system (iOS), I understand that you can now set custom text message alert tones on a per-person basis, which is awesome: I'll then know who a text message is from before I even look at the phone. Nice. But how do I actually set up these custom alert sounds on my iPhone?

How do I enable "emoji" on my iPhone?
I got a text from a friend of mine, iPhone to iPhone, and darn if she didn't have all sorts of cute little icons in her message to me. When I asked how she did it, she said "emoji!" I have no idea what that is or what it means, but I really want to be able to respond in kind ASAP. Help?!

How do I send a TXT message like "HAITI" to a numeric shortcode on my iPhone?
I've been hearing a lot about how the American Red Cross has raised millions of dollars in relief funds for the Haitians through people "texting 'HAITI' to 90999" but I have an iPhone and I know how to send text messages to my friends by finding them in my Contacts app, but how do I send a text message like that to a non-phone number numeric code [they're called "shortcodes" in the industry, btw --Ed]?

How can I stop Twitter sending updates to my cellphone?
I've signed up for Twitter and am having lots of fun with it, but every time I add someone new, all of their Tweets end up going to my cellphone as SMS text messages. This is bad, and it's driving me crazy. Is there some easy way to fix this?
