Bummer. I wouldnt know how to text even if I tried. I'm really tech-challenged.
In fact, I just found out that you can buy phones that have a base, plugged into a phone jack, and also have outlet phones that plug only into outlets. Wow. (Please dont laugh.) I just bought a Panasonic Talking Caller ID with four outlet phones on amazon. Now, for the first time in over 30 years, I have more than one phone in my house. Before this, I always had to go into the living room to answer the phone -- and I never had Caller ID. I cant tell you how excited I am about such a simple thing as being able to hear who's calling and answer the phone from my bed.
