Have you ever noticed that, when you send or receive email from a smartphone or tablet, you get a little advertising in the signature. “Sent from my brand-spanking new iPhone 5600 with 3D Laser Mind Control. You know you’re jealous,” or something like that.
Okay, okay…it’s actually a little more boring than that. But don’t you wish it was a little more fun?
Instead of advertising for you (or maybe you like that, you braggart you), your phone or tablet could highlight your insanity creativity.
Here are some lines currently rotating through my mobile email signatures:
“Sent from the alien mothership.”
“Sent from the front lines of the zombie apocalypse.”
“Sent from your phone. This is just a figment of your imagination.”
“Sent telepathically.”
What about you? Do you have a custom signature for your smart phone/tablet? What does it say? If not, what would you want yours to say?

The Life List Club is turning 1! In honor, we’re having an extra-special Milestone Party June 29. You’re all invited to join in the fun and answer a question about your own life lists:
What goal on your Life List has held the most surprise or invoked the most unforeseen benefits/changes?
I like ‘em! I’m going to hang onto this in case I ever join the 21st Century and get a SmartPhone
Don’t do it, Jack. I did two weeks ago, and I can barely figure out how to make a phone call.
@Jack: Come to the dark side….
@David: LOL They can be so hard to figure out at first, unless you’re under 12. For some reason, the kiddos can figure this stuff out with no problem.
I actually like that my iPhone has the “sent from my iPhone” signature. I tend to make a few more mistakes when responding to emails via my phone, and autocorrect likes to make even more.
I like to look at that little signature line as my explanation to anything that doesn’t make sense! 
Heh heh heh. That autocorrect can be a real beast. It’s kind of like the Dragon SR…I’ve found some embarrassing errors in my emails a couple of times.
I had switched this off, but you’ve inspired me to go with “Sent from my spaceship” !
Very nice!
Wonder how I’d go about using something like that . . .
I think it’s in the email settings of the phone. Signature. I have an HTC phone now but I’ll have to check my iPad and see where the settings are there.
Mine should say, “Sent from my iPhone. Please excuse the typos!”
LOL. And that reminds me of the cursed/blessed autocorrect.
My smart phone merely says and/or implies that it is smarter than I am, which comes to no one’s surprise.
Yeah, mine’s smarter than me too. So is my computer, for that matter. Oh well. As long as they don’t go Hal on us.
I don’t have an i-phone, just one of those androids. My husband has a very simple one (still in the stone age of phones) but it makes calls on its own when he puts in his pocket. Yesterday we got a bill from Pago Pago, Samoa–a pocket call for sure. I had to put a stop on all international calls, ha.ha. Those dang pockets.
Eeek! I used to butt dial all the time. I finally broke down and got a flip phone so that wouldn’t happen anymore. Then, hubby seduced me over to the iPhone. Now I have an HTC, which is Android I think. LOL.
I honestly never thought of that! I am totally going to have to come with a witty one now.
