You see kids going nuts punching buttons on their cell phones and having a ball, laughing and whatever ...You think to yourself "What the hell are they doing?" Welll grandpa they are text messaging. It's here to stay so get over it.. In fact why don't you get onboard and try it yourself? Sure would surprise some friend or relative to get a text from you now wouldn't it!

Here's the deal,
One phone may have a different method from another but basically it's like this.
Some ask for the phone number to be provided in a different sequence.

• Choose Menu.
• Choose Messages.
• Choose Text Messages.
• Choose " Write Message" or "Create New Message"
  or something similar from the Messaging menu.
• Text  a message by using your keypad.
• Remember that each number from 2 through 9 has 3 or 4 letters on one key.
• Hit the key as many times as you need to get to the letter that you want.
• In the Number field, type the 10-digit wireless number or Common Short Code, to which you’d like to send the text.
• When done choose OK or SEND to send the message.

Some phones can only can handle 160 characters per message, so get to the point but if you're too brief you could seen as being cold.
No-one can see you smile or frown or look sad but you can use Emoticons to clear things up about that.
?4U Means I have a question for you.
420 means marijuana.
411 means information - as in "what's the 411 "
6Y  sexy
ADDY  address
There are gazzillions more and you can sometimes figure them out if they are obvious or research them online.
