My phone service has been bad in my rural area lately including texting. We had a group text going on & a few responses came through saying "I'll be there" or "sorry can't make it". I am like "WHAT?" I actually texted a "?" that showed up in the stream but no text that everyone seemed to be responding to. 2 hours later my phone was flooded with ALL the texts that hadn't come through & found out then what I was invited to. Hmmmm, my texting problems seem to be from the phone service provider & not my friends.
Oh yes, I stopped auto correct on my phone cause I was sending all kinds of crazy text messages that made no sense.
Technology itself can add its own twist to the texting problem
