[nabs-l] A phone question for all of you sprint users.

[Steve Jacobson]

Ashley,

My wife has a Rumor 2, but I have not been able to get it to read text messages although I am told that it does.  Do you read text messages with your phone 
and if you do, would explain what you do?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
