[nabs-l] Desktop Texting Applications

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello:

     I just tried www.txtdrop.com. I was able to send a text message to my 
phone, so I know it works. The problem with the Youth Slam vote is that the 
destination number is not 10 digits long. Is there a way around this?

Regards,

Robert
