Hi,
A quick question if I may that has absolutely nothing to do with GBS.
If you are in New York, Manhatten and cannot use your mobile phone, how do you send a message to a mobile phone in Ireland? My sister has done just that – and I don’t how to reply – or even if it is possible.
I have access to a laptop at the moment – and how anyone works these yokes is beyond me! But, so far, so good.
When I get home, I’m going to talk the hind leg of a donkey! So look out!
God bless
Teresa
Oh, PS my name doesn’t show up as ‘currently on line’ andI don’t know why. I checked that I haven’t ticked the box for being invisible. I’ll try and figure it out when I go home.

Teresa,
With my phone if I am able to recieve SMS or email then I am also able to send, even if I am out of my network. So since you were able to get the message from her you should be able to send one back.

Thanks Jerimy
It worked out okay. My sister sent me the message from a computer apparently – I’ve no idea how! Her mobile ‘phone wouldn’t work in America.
She eventually sent me a text message on someone else’s ‘phone and I was able to reply – the fact that she didn’t the reply is another thing altogether!
It turned out that she sent me a text on Friday night telling me to leave a key out as she would be home 3 hours earlier than planned. I got the message the old-fashioned way – she banged on the bedroom window when she got back, until I woke up. Ooops!
Still she had some fun and spent a fortune. All I can say to that is ‘good for her’. A bit of retail therapy!
God bless

TA, if you have yahoo messenger you can send text messages to phones for free—of course the phone owner has to pay:o . i do it to my brother all the time, because i don’t have a cell phone anymore.

Sorry I’m so late replying.
I heard only 2 days ago that it was possible to do this on o2 (that’s my mobile phone network) but I couldn’t get the hang of it. I will give it a go on Yahoo.
Actually, last week I got a new boss and it turns out she has a Masters degree in I.T.! Am I lucky or am I lucky?!!! Oh, and she seems nice too.
God bless
