You're still a young'n compared to some of us, Levi. I go through a 
*ton* of SMS each month, and very few of them are talking to my own 
kids. It's one of those things that once you start using, you'll use 
more. I find lately that my adult friends who can't sms frustrate me. 
"Can't I just call?" "No, I can't talk, but I can text."  The other day 
someone asked me when he could call. I said - text me when you're ready 
and I'll let ya know how close I am to being able to have that 
conversation. If he'd sent a text, I could have replied with "10 
minutes." By just calling, I hit the ignore button and now he thinks I'm 
mad at him. Go figure.

There used to be some 3rd party sms apps, but none seem to work on 
anything beyond the 600 (some on the 650). AgendusMail can handle SMS.
