Text by SKYPE
I detest SMS / Text messaging, why use your ‘phone as a typewriter, why not just talk into the damned thing, tho’ I do accept that it is a lot cheaper to send a text message than make a mobile 'phone call, which I guess is the attraction ?
Couple that with the fact that my 75 year old fingers have trouble with the complicated key / character combination, I’ve recently taken to creating messages, when I’m at home, on the computer, then sending them by SKYPE.
Trouble is they sometimes take a long time, 5 hours recently, to be delivered, which rather defeats the object !
Is this a SKYPE thing, or is the NZ Telecom system just being beastly to a competitor ? Does it happen in other countries ?
