I know you can text from an iPod Touch or an iPad. The only way people could text you back is by using your email address. Though, there are some services that assign phone numbers to their app so you can use a phone number for texting, but I have no idea which ones and what is currently available. I do not know if the touch or ipad can text to non-apple devices. Richard

However, I’m thinking of going back to a flip phone, just because I don’t want all that other stuff on it, and the phone is smaller than the one I have. My only concern is texts. I don’t want to get texts on the phone, and am looking for options to use i-devices for that. Any suggestions? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
