I have to push the number keys to text, but it’s the best way to quickly communicate with my husband (”Get milk, bananas pls.”) because he doesn’t answer his phone or listen to his voice mails, so any attempt to talk to him on the phone ends up being tag.
I had Jacqui (that’s how she likes it spelled now)text daddy the other day because his phone went directly to voice mail and I needed him to add trash bags to the list - he got home an hour later without the bags because he hadn’t gotten the text. 2 hours after that the phone notified him he had gotten a text.
A lot of good it does me!
