"If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together." These and other classically cheesy pickup lines are coming to Virgin Mobile. Richard Branson, playing Cupid this time instead of Phileas Fogg, will launch a text message flirting service on Valentine's Day. The idea is to let shy, yet coquettish, customers flirt via anonymous text messages. Think of it as a faceless, wireless icebreaker. Guys, if she rolls her eyes and hits "delete," use this one: "Hey, I know you! You were Miss Newcastle last year!"
