and.....Skype refuse to register my cellphone number for return Txts. Something to do with different Telecoms protocols in different Countries they told me, even tho' NZ has 3G and surprise,surprise, even 4G in small areas.
There is a local VOIP/Txt provider, but the reply goes back to their website, not my cellphone, so unless I'm sat in front of a computer .. forget it.
Ain't technology wonderful, Life was simpler before computers. ( and far less irritating )
