[huskermania]

@rhino18603 Yes! Was waiting for someone to recognize that! Nice job!

[TheUKGrimeScene]

so this costs whoever you send the text too but not yourself because they have to go on the internet to recieve it? or am i not fully understanding this correctly.

[huskermania]

For you it's free (If you have a data plan of course), for them, normal rates will apply.

[tomdamonkey999]

does this work sending from a computer, cos that would be tight,

would also mean all phones could technically send emails by replying to these texts

[huskermania]

sure does. =)
