I HATE texting. I do it once in a great while (half dozen times a year) but I get texts or requests on my cell phone to reply to texts. I HATE texting, all those little keys (I don't have a crack-berry, iphone, just a simple cell phone that you use for you know, calling and talking when needed.

Normally I just call back rather than text but sometimes they want to get a text back because they are in a meeting, lecture, work or something.

Is there a good, free, spam free web site or software where I can do computer to cell phone text message?

Texting is a waste of time...

and,I have to put on Readers to do it...

lol

wheel,

I hear ya

When I get a text I just groan. I can't do the texting thing in a timely fashion. It's WAY easier to type it out on a real keyboard or (gasp) actually talk.

In some cases I need to text and it would be easier for me to do so via a real keyboard because I refuse to "upgrade" to a phone with all the bells and whistles.

The only reason why I got a cell in the first place 6 yrs ago or so was for emergencies (when our first kid was in the womb). It's not my lifeline.

Women are Sex Toys...

****, I barley know how to use the cell phone camera on it or know how to send pictures from it.

Not because I'm stupid but because I don't use it that much nor need it or are have the itch to learn.

It's primary function is a phone and I use it as such. Not a camera, not a typewriter. It's a phone dammit!

texting was a pain in the arse until I got a phone with a full QWERTY keyboard

A number of cellphone providers have a page on their website where you can go and send an SMS message (AKA: "text") to a phone.

Additionally, most, if not all, cellphone providers offer an email to SMS service where you can send a text email and it will send it to the phone.

AT&T: [10-digit phone number]@txt.att.net

Verizon [10-digit phone number]@vtext.com

Sprint: AT&T: [10-digit phone number]@messaging.sprintpcs.com (I think this is the right one, haven't used it in a few years though)

...etc...

You can look up these email to text addresses on the provider's website.

Nevermind it doesn't work^^ I used to use it a couple of years ago but I guess it doesn't work anymore.

Thanks guys.

I have Verizon. I'll have to look into it. Right now it's time to put the kids in the tub and to bed.

I don't text.

text hater here as well.........in my experience; texts are often sent by coworkers who prefer one sided communication; as they will often ignore any response that may be contrary to their power trip du jour.

11 - RIIIIIIGHT... someone steals your phone and sends texts and pic messages from it, eh? AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Most of the text I get (once every other month or so) are from my Wifey or Bro.

They are either usually in class listening to a boring lecture (professional development stuff) or in a boring meeting. You know, corporate "self improvement" training or policy "upgrades" or blah, blah, blah...

I figgger they are texting just to keep awake.

When I get stuck in those B.S. meetings (thank God I haven't had to attend one in 10 yrs or so) I just mindlessly doodle on my note pad and think of the time we are wasting.

Cripes, I could be actually DOING something and getting results (good or bad... but learning) and not hypothesizing for hours about this and that....

Maybe that's why I've been laid off twice in the past 10 yrs.

Sorry I digress.

Back on topic. I hate texting from a cell phone Maybe when my contract is up with this simple flip phone I have, I'll upgrade to one with a QWERTY key pad. It seems like that's all the rage now days.

I'm always behind the curve when it comes to cell phones. I'm fine with that. It's a phone after all and it works just fine for my needs.

Get a phone with a qwerty (or sumpin) keyboard, ya douche.

I got an LG Xenon and it works fine. Texting is good, because you can ignore people!

Get with the times ya old fuddy duddy.

I thought telegraph went out when telephones came in!

^right..........it does seem an awful lot like reverse progress.

The worst part is......we are going to see an entire generation lose their grasp on the nuances of conversation.
