re: Glad to hear it!
We dont text.
I turned texting and pictures off of my plan when I started receiving spam and wrong number pictures on my phone. One of the pictures was benign, but the text that went with it not so much. At least the phone company reversed those charges when I told them what was going on and wanted it cancelled. I have not yet seen a good argument for texting on a phone.
My carrier gives you the ability to lock down a phone, so it can only call and receive numbers in the address book unless a passcode is pressed first. When the time comes I'll probably implement that on my kids' phones. Luckily were still a couple years out for that.
