text echo

the arrival of a text message as one is simultaneously calling the recipient

Fred had the burning desire to call Marge. He texted her, then seconds later, called her. As she answered the phone, the text message from Fred arrived. "Is this a 'text echo'?" she asked.

Text echo

A text, that the longer it goes unanswered, the louder it rings in awkwardness.

'So how about that massage?? ;)' text echoed for a week.
