I was more thinking along the lines of the phone conversations. I, humbly admit, still use full sentences with punctuation when texting. I can't break some habits. 
Great list!!!!
Can I add a few things?... Well not to your original one , but you know...
When answering the phone, some also say- Dígame.
When asking who is calling, ¿Quién habla? o ¿Con quién hablo?.
When saying just a moment, you can also say... Un momentito.
If someone calls and you need to pass the phone to them you can say... Ahorita te lo/la paso.
If someone is calling and the person is not there you can ask if they want you to have the person call them, or ask if they are going to call back.... ¿Le digo que te llame, o le llamas tú más tarde?

Great post. I know it's old but very useful.
QNDO (cuando)this is just so stupid, only two letters less!!
Many of you are probably too young and don't even know this, but when texting first appeared you were charged per letter. That's probably where the practice of creating abbreviations started, so removing one or two letters per word meant saving money.
Of course this doesn't matter now, but the practice is well established and isn't going away. Not to mention abbreviations save time. My biggest problem is there is no official standard.
Texing (which is a word now, I guess) is perhaps acceptable between equals, but when I run into chat like that I wear out the Acronym Finder. (Must irritating)
I added a few things to my first post , thanks.
This is how it works not only in Spanish... I guess some people think that this is just "cooler" to use such a language, because it indicates you belong to a particular group. The same is with "BESOS", isn't it?

Thanks, this is really useful!!! I have always wondered how to abbreviate spanish words for texting, I will definately use this
Issabela, thanks for the post! Would you be able to put some of these in a flashcard set? Just wondering. For now I will copy and paste into a Word document.
