Texting Tip: Text from email (At&T) free

It's free to text from your email software to someone's phone, (to an AT&T customer). They will be charged in accordance with their plan, but you will not be charged at all. It's handy if you're already working on the computer, and need to shoot someone a quick note. But you need to have their number memorized, or nearby! 

DIRECTIONS:

Put this in your email "To:" field to send a text message. You must put the recipient's number in place of the numbers shown below--obviously.

5706402005@txt.att.net

(This may possbily work with other mobile phone service providers. Try it, and find out. Please let me know!  For instance, would this work with a T-mobile customer? 578-478-9837@txt.tmobile.net)

BEWARE- iPhone Car Chargers Catch Fire

Our relatives, Lester and Mary in Cleveland, Ohio sent us photos of what happened to their 2007 Suburban. All they did was leave their iPhone charger / docking station plugged into their car outlet. They caught the fire in the garage before it spread to their home–even their their fire detectors did not sound.

Protect yourself! Please check your fire detectors to make sure they are in working order, and unplug phone chargers, and other devices from your car outlets when they are not in use. They get a bit hot!
