i don't see it happening anytime soon
not until, people quit using txt shrthnd when sending messages
it would be a night mare, the responder on a PC typing full clear messages
and the member needing help.. sending from a phone and trying to describe the situation while using txt shrthnd..
boy what a confusion that would be
besides txt doesn't give the responding service a GPS fix
that they get with a voice phone call..when you call in
given the speeling errors i see on this forum, including my own
voice is much better process at this time
text is NO better about waiting..
if the operators are busy.. they are busy
imagine the confusion when the service provider decides
ONE operator can handle several texting calls at the same time
I'm sending this from my phone. Same phone that I text on. Shorthand is so 10 years ago. You can type a dissertation on your smartphone pretty quickly!
2004 called and wants their flip phone back!
Like the OP said, it's a very efficient way to communicate in marginal cell service area.
