just call it ANDROID

USE WIFI and load it up with apps before you take it back to Mexico

"swiss knife" is a great utility. with scientific calculator, flashlight , and even a Magnifier all in one app

turn on magnifier and the camera lens is used to display what ever you want to examine in a macro magnified way, you don't even need a microscope any more

yahoo email, used to let you send text msg to phone numbers, not sure if the option is still available

last month i used "goggle acct" connection via wifi internet to send text msgs to a friend, while we were camping at a beach with NO cell signal..his return msg came to my "google voice" free ph number
but the campground had free wifi internet for campers...NO netflix allowed
i can't send to an international number
but i can send to any USA number

I think Mr. Wizard needs a trip down to San Diego next week to mentor MXWA for a day or two on Android. I am almost 100% certain if both parties have the APP, Google Hangouts allows text messages, not sure if OTA or wifi or both. It won't do video conference unless on wifi.


Google Hangouts


Swiss Knife app

MXWA will need to do a Google Search on his PC to see all the Google Apps available. For certain, someone, somewhere, always does a hack or a workaround, when you cell phone provider tries to block you from doing something that they think they should charge for... be it tethering, text messages, roaming charges, etc, etc. Being open source has it advantages over an Apple Iphone, at times.


Always, always always use a search engine like Google first when looking for applications. You'll find almost all your free apps and pay to play apps on GOOGLE PLAY. Learn to know what that Icon looks like on your screen.
