Just a few years ago, only executives were walking around with the latest technology. Now the newest flip phones, text messaging and mobile instant messaging devices have become mainstream. Texting has experienced an explosion in popularity all across the nation.
Everyone from trend-setting teens to busy professionals and on-the-go moms are texting colleagues, friends and family, in large part because texting lets you communicate anytime, anywhere. The following tips can help you to take hold of the texting trend:
How-To: Send Text Messages from Phone to Phone. It's easy to exchange text messages with anyone who has a text-enabled mobile phone (nearly all phones are these days) or PDA. Even if you and your friends have different wireless providers, you can just enter the 10-digit wireless phone number into the "to" field and text away.
How-To: Send Instant Messages from Phone to Phone. If you and your friends or co-workers use instant messaging (IM) on the desktop, it's easy to continue the conversation on-the-go. Many mobile phones and PDAs have built-in "Mobile IM" features, and most phones can download mobile versions of popular IM services like the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) service (found at www.aolmobile.com). Be sure to set up IM forwarding when you leave your computer to re-direct IMs to your phone and stay in touch wherever you go.
