Here are some commonly accepted
abbreviations that reduce the need to
type long phrases.
GA means “Go Ahead”. When you finish
typing your sentence or message, press
GA key or type GA to show it’s the other
party’s turn to respond. For example,
“
HI, THIS IS JANE, HOW CAN I HELP
YOU? GA”.
When you see GA at the
end of an incoming sentence or
message, it is your turn to respond.
Q is often used instead of a question
mark. For example, “
HOW ARE YOU Q”.
SK means “Stop Keying”. Press SK key
or type SK when you are ready to end
the conversation. Typing GA followed by
SK is a polite way to say good-bye and
to give the other party a last chance to
respond before hanging up. For
example, “
NICE TALKING WITH YOU
SK”.
Type SKSK to show that you’re hanging
up. For example, “
BYE NOW SKSK”.
