This document summarizes a survey of 30 sixth form students in Brunei on their attitudes towards SMS. The survey found that both male and female students have similar views on SMS - they see it as expensive but still affordable. Students prefer to use SMS when abroad and find that SMS does not significantly affect their study performance or receipt of exam results via SMS. While SMS usage is not banned, increased SMS use was found when voice calls were prohibited. The conclusion is that SMS remains a useful communication tool for students and does not negatively impact their language performance.
