> And, yes, I know that "I couldn't possibly do that for..." reason lists are long. Try it. I've tried it for a burner phone for international travel, and it turns out that even though I'm a very light user of phone messaging, I find T9 texting exceptionally unpleasant to use. (I never used T9 in its heyday, and find smartphone virtual keyboards unpleasant in the best of cases.) I already do 99% of my messaging at my PC, but sometimes need to message someone on the go. Now I've just been using my previous primary phone for international travel. Though I'd probably be okay with a dumb phone with a slider keyboard.
