I think it's basic courtesy when someone asks you a question and you give a prompt reply. In the same vein, when someone sms-es you, you should also give a reply as early as you could, unless the sms does not warrent a reply. However, if you could only reply at a much later time, I think you should offer an apology and if possible, give a reason to why you could reply only now. No doubt sms-es is an informal channel of communication, but I think basic courtesy should not disappear just because of that. I am often left very frustrated and extremely irritated waiting for someone's answer or reply. At times, I would try to send a second sms to the same person asking the same question, thinking that perhaps the receipent failed to receive my sms. When the person still fails to reply, I get pissed. This is only particularly so when I know the person is awake and I know that there is no reason that he/she would miss my sms-es and calls. To me, I think the person is simply being rude and unkind. Though I may give the benefit of doubt to many of my friends, there is still a limit to how long I can wait.
