The sms in viet is quite complicated to understand. I've tried to translate over the net, word by word, but it totally makes no sense.
Any idea where I can get this info over the net?

No. The only way is to learn the basics and then the slang and abbrieviations. She's using j instead of i. Normally in viet j replaces gi. Don't try and translate word for word. Just try and get the gist. Tra loi is reply. tn is short tin nhằn and that means message. That is enough to understand she wants you to reply.
