1. A non-transitory computer readable medium including at least computer program code for limiting text messages, said computer readable medium comprising:
- computer program code for receiving an electronic message from a given sender over a wireless network, the electronic message being for and directed to a recipient user;
computer program code for accessing throttle data for the recipient user, the throttle data for the recipient user including a throttle status associated with the given sender;
computer program code for determining whether the electronic message from the given sender should be deferred based on the throttle status associated with the given sender; and
computer program code for deferring delivery to or presentation by a recipient user electronic device associated with the recipient user if the computer program code for determining determines that the electronic message from the given sender should be deferred.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium including at least computer program code for limiting text messages, said computer readable medium comprising:
-
computer program code for receiving an electronic message from a given sender, the electronic message being for and directed to a recipient user; computer program code for determining whether sending or delivery of the electronic message should be deferred based on a throttle status associated with the given sender; and computer program code for deferring sending or delivery to a recipient user electronic device if the determining determines that the electronic message should be deferred, wherein the computer program code for determining determines that sending or delivery of the electronic message to the recipient user electronic device should be deferred based on the throttle status associated with the given sender, wherein the throttle status causes deferral when a quantity of messages received from the given sender to the recipient user during a per unit time exceeds a predetermined quantity. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A messaging system for limiting text messages, said messaging system comprising:
-
means for receiving an electronic message from a given sender to be sent to a recipient user; means for determining whether sending or delivery of the electronic message should be deferred; and means for deferring sending or delivery to a recipient user electronic device associated with the recipient user if the means for determining determines that the electronic message should be deferred, wherein the means for determining determines whether the electronic message should be deferred based on a predetermined quantity of messages sent from the given sender to the recipient user permitted per unit time.
