Hey good point, i never even thought of that, still it will be SORRY I HAD MY PHONE SWITCHED OFF , always some way out of it eh.
Yeah my phone is the same i can receive text but cannot send them stupid really who ever thought of that one, i have others i can use, it does take time, especially as u get older your eyesight aint so good, and the letters are small, but u get faster, i can vouch for that.
I am just a cheapskate, works out far cheaper than ringing or toll calls so i do use it quite often now.
