Sent from my iPhone

[TIGA84]

This has always bugged me, whether it be from my Blackberry, my iPhone or by the Power of Positive Thought (yes I have seen that before) now I have officially reached the zenith of this absurd behaviour.

Just received on an email.

"Sent on the new Sprint Network from my Samsung Galaxy S®4"

This sentence was actually longer than the email text it was attached to.

What the actual juddering fk is this? I couldn't give a flying fk what network its been sent on, I have no measure of how fast your email has got to me, you could have sent it last week for all I know, and what fking difference what phone you've decided to get on your contract renewal does it matter to me, I can't see it?

That is all.



Sent from a desk in London, sort of grey in colour, not bright grey, but a kind of dull white, over some kind of email server, don't know which one but no doubt its helpful information to have at the end of a message.

It's an automatic signature, the user has to delve into the settings menu to change it. Mine is now like a shortened version of my Outlook email signature, complete with contact number.

Many people don't bother / don't know how to change it though.

I guess you're supposed to receive the email and think :

This was sent from a PHONE? An actual PHONE can send emails??????

OMG, I must have one. I will rush out and buy this item of gadgetry immediately.

(Until you remember it's not 1995, and they all do it).

Free advertising I suppose.

My daughters email account is just an alias of my apple account. She changed the settings, which affected all the aliases, so that the "signature" read "Sophie is amazing!" Most people must have ignored it but two business contacts did reply asking what was so amazing about Sophie.

I reckon it was going out on all emails from my phone for about a week!!

This. My wife had no idea how to change it and the only reason I changed it is because it annoys me although slightly less than the original poster 😊

Due to this thread I have just dived into my settings and taken of the "sent from mi ipod" sig as it is pointless. I didn't know it was there until I sent an email to my work address and saw it.

"Sent from my iPhone so please excuse brevity / typos" is one I've seen.

Urgh. Makes me do a mini sick every time.

I can just imagine someone who does not have the most up to date phone updating their sig when the next model comes out.
“sent from my iphone3” 4, 5, 6 etc

I think it's more "Forgive the spelling mistakes and brevity".

Well how about people stop pretending they can work on the hoof and wait until they get to a computer with a proper keyboard so they can write a proper email, spellcheck it and stick in a relevant subject line. The amount of times people have forwarded an work related email to me and I have no clue what claim it relates to as the subject line has one word in it. Its pointless as I have to go back to them and ask what the fk they are talking about.

I don't have an iPhone - far too common!

Wonder if it's 'enviado de mi iPod' for Spanish users.

I had "Sent from Outside Your Window" until the police confiscated my phone. I need to be more careful next time...

Replaced it on my phone with the signature you see below. The name would be at the bottom of most emails anyway and the mobile device bit is an explanation for the short\direct\blunt email they may have received.

Full name
(Sent from my Mobile Device)

[grumpyscot]

Mine simply says "sent from my phone and I haven't an effing clue how I did it"

[Storer]

Well thanks for letting me know I could delete that from my phone email replies.

Just deleted on all my email accounts.....

I've changed mine to sent from mobile device just so that people can understand why the formatting isn't what it should be.
