Text messaging

Post by Chris Vogel »

I had text messaging disabled on my phone, because of AT&T’s 15¢ fee (for messages sent and received), but a friend recently forced me to buy a text-messaging plan. T9 makes typing easy enough, although Unicode seems to be verboten.

Admittedly, I text her a lot – with pictures! Now I just need more friends. :P

I never got the point of text messaging. Just dial the number and call. :P Or use regular, free, chat like msn etc.

Guess it does have its uses though, like you could setup a server monitor program to send alerts via text messaging on your phone.

I don't because I don't have a plan on my phone.

Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

Or XMPP! Sometimes, though, I’m not near a computer, and I just want to say something quick.

Do you know about SMS gateways? Your server just has to send an e-mail.

T9 annoyed me at first, but then I sat down and forced myself to learn it. It’s a real time saver. (Oh, and awwwwwwwwwwwwww.)


I discovered the coolest thing ever last night. What’s the capital of New Zealand, you ask? Why, let me ask Google – from my phone at no cost!
