We are keeping my 3-year-old grandson. His mother called and in a moment of oppositional behavior, he said he did not want to talk to her. She hung up. Then, naturally, he wanted to talk to her. When I called back, the line was busy. Little guy’s response “I’ll just text her”. My husband and I collapsed laughing.

we got to figure out how to do this in the usa. a very common practice here is for cash register receipts to bug you to log in to their web site and tell you what you think of the store, and you might win a prize!

I've seen a few places that are now offering something if you send a text to a certain number. For instance, I saw a banner in Arby's that offered a coupon for your next visit if you sent a text to a certain number -- presumably in the form of a reply message you could show to the cashier.

But, I'll pass. These offers are designed to get your phone number so that they can send you "related" messages at a later date.
