You've finally decided to jump on the bandwagon and to purchase a cell phone. Congratulations! Maybe you resisted buying one because you believed that it was a fad that would go away, or maybe you didn't purchase one because you didn't have coverage in your area. For whatever reason, you are only now getting around to buying a cell phone and you're not quite sure what you can do with it. You know that you can make calls, but is there anything else you can do with a cell phone? Of course there is! Cell phones from five years ago didn't do much more than just allow you to receive and make calls when you were away from your home. Now, however, they can do much more. To begin with, almost all cell phones now have text capability. This is a way to let you get in touch with someone without having to call and speak with them. Think of it like sending a little email through your phone.
