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.

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!
