I’m sure that would have been Te-Sa-Mess Li… Like many nouns, this turned into a verb as well. And I don’t think it’s any different that “text me” or “email me”. So the only possible issue could be with the fact that the Hebrew word for SMS – Misron (literally: little message), is not commonly used.
