This text message phenomenon is all the craze in Europe
and Japan. That's all you see everywhere you go is people text messaging
each other. If you plan on using text messages you better make sure
they are included in your calling plan. Some cell phone companies include
text unlimited messages and some charge a few cents for incoming and out
going text messages. You will need a cell phone that has text messaging
capabilities aw well. Most cheap cell phones do not have this included.
your best best if you are going to be doing a lot of text messaging is to
get yourself a PDA / hybrid cell phone. What makes these so great is the
keyboards are usually a little larger and you can use your thumb to type
your text message. The Handspring Treo from Palmone is one that is
currently getting rave reviews.
