I think that's cool. Why? Because I don't have to try and write it down and then program it back in my phone after they connect me. Also, I don't always have to call them back every time I want a specific number because I'm too lazy to program it. Now, I just program it right way in a few buttons. It saves them money, I'm sure, because I have unlimited 411 on my plan and they want to reduce the number of times I'm calling, no doubt.</p><p><a href="http://www.netsquared.org/blog/agenthandy/get-hip-to-text-messaging">read more</a></p> http://www.netsquared.org/blog/agenthandy/get-hip-to-text-messaging#comments cell phones pda text text message text messaging texting youth Wed, 23 Nov 2005 15:25:19 -0500 agenthandy 220 at http://www.netsquared.org
