I apologize for my misuse of the text alert system. I was drunk with power.

I had just stopped by to see Lits one last time before my flight home, and felt like shooting the shit with everyone.

Name is Sared!

Name is Sared!

Not helpful...

[Sared]

I signed up and sent the SMS request under the name Sared, but it said invite only. Sared would be the name the invite would be sent to I assume.

[Tbone]

You have to send me a message requesting I add you.

Re-set up with a new number.  I send the "Add me!" text.

I got the textplus app and sent Tbone a text via that app, but I didn't get a response back.  Did you get that text Tbone?

I have the same issue.  I brought it up a while ago but people assured me it was working fine.  I assumed it was just me.

[Ademaro]

Possibly they are using an older version of the app?

[Azarov]

I just got it about a week ago and got it all working fine.

[likwidtek]

Bump!  Make sure you all have this!  It's a really good way to know about FA events!

Can't we just switch to having google send out normal text messages for the love of <random>? I can't stand the ads, the buggy interface, the nonsensical page hierarchy... Definitely not putting it back on my phone. Ever.

[likwidtek]

Even if you don't use the app you can still have it send your phone normal texts can't you?

[Tbone]

Normal text messages cost money. Not everyone has unlimited texting. You would also be required to give out your phone number. With textPlus, your phone number is not needed. You also would not be able to respond to anyone unless you had their phone number, which means you'd have to give your phone number out to EVERYONE, and I'm pretty sure no one is ok with that.

Now, you can actually get textPlus messages via SMS without installing the app on your phone if that's your issue. Just pretend like it's coming from a google number.
