Do texts work on a regular cell phone? I've never texted. |

1. All I've ever had is regular cell phones ('flip-phones'), and I text all the time. |
|
Did you mean regular as opposed to "smart phones"?

2. You have to have the text service enabled by your cell carrier. |
|
Almost all new phones ("smart" or otherwise) have the ability to send/receive text message if the service is enabled. If the phone is more than about 5 years old it might not have that capability.

3. Yes, but need to check w/carrier for plans and charges |
|
You can even send and recieve text messages to email.addresses, but in tne case of older basic phones, may be limited by a small number of characters. 135 on my old phone. Like using twitter, I.think.;)

I'm technologically impaired, too.
Well, not so much impaired. It's just that some *advances* just don't seem as good as the things that came before.
