As for texting...        SH> I just checked my plan and yes I do have international        SH> texting! I didn't know that.              I've never used the international texting, yet. I've always        wondered how those 5-6 digit "text to" numbers even worked.        Watching some of the programs from the USA would sometimes have        a "text to.." option if you wanted to rate a comment or voice        an opinion. I'm still leary to use those amidst all the        tracking capability and be suspected as a dissident! LOL              And.. I really don't have any international pals that I could        text to their phones anyway.              But.. you know, one thing that is really starting to irk me is        that more and more phone calls I make from my landline at the        shop go out as LD (customers adopting their favourite phone        number to their phones). I *could* text to all of them or just        use my cellphone to call and therefore have all those call        "free". BUT, I don't want people to think that they can call        me back on that darn device to ask questions or place orders!        LOL              For now, the "free" email-to-text system seems to work for        Bell/Virgin/Lucky/Koodo numbers without resorting to 3rd party        services.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: Mobile?
