The other "only thing is ..." is that there aren't any devices.
Whatever (text messaging on a HAM band) you want to use, there is not a qwerty (or touchscreen) device that you can use to compose those messages.
You either need to connect a computer to such a device or (I think) there are one or two handheld radios that you can type out messages using multi-tap.[1]

- vel0city 5y agoYeah I agree it's somewhat frustrating there isn't an all in one device with a QWERTY keyboard but I usually Bluetooth pair my phone to my radio and use APRSDroid for a better messaging experience.
- markzzerella 5y agoI like my th-d74 quite a bit. I even use the aprs to sms bridge when I'm out of cell service and in a pinch.
