I too use txt'ing (ie. the sms system offered by the phone service) primarily
as a one-way announcement.  I can send a message to someone that their
special book order has arrived. And, since sms timestamps are based on
"received" date and time, I include the date and time I send the message in
the message.

It the recipient replies, fine.  If not, I don't really care - and just
follow up in a few days with a phone call.
