[Electronics-talk] New Talking Cell Phone

[Carol J. Feazell]

Do you know if it will read and send text messages?  Mine currently will do 
that but although I can send easily, I have had difficulty figuring out how 
to receive messages nad for that reason don't do much of it.  Not that I am 
all that much of a texter but with so many of my friends functioning that 
way, I would sure like to think that I could more easily.
