False! Perhaps for your way of life, but there's the age-old 'you != everyone'. Once your friends know you don't text, they stop texting you. They may think you're a Luddite, but that's another issue.
Even though you (and me for that matter) may want SMS on phones, I don't think it was a poor design choice to skip SMS on this phone.
- jacquesm 16y ago> Once your friends know you don't text, they stop texting you. I really really tried, but apparently your friends respect you better than mine do me :) I don't mind being known as a Luddite ;)
- pbhjpbhj 16y agoOn UK landlines now you can receive texts, they have a service that does text-to-speech and reads the text to you. With this then you would only lack a way to send texts, people wanting a simple phone probably don't want that.
- sbarre 16y agoIn Canada it's the same thing. Text a landline and they get a call with a TTS of the text and a message indicating what phone number it came from.
- code_duck 16y agoWell, but like the above poster said it's not all about your friends texting you - verizon, for instance, sends password reset notices through SMS, and other service messages.
