SPDCA: An alternative to texting. I think I've mentioned before my opinions on texting. Long and short: it's an ingenious way for cell phone companies to essentially charge for

i'm in. My phone's IM client, BeejiveIM, is compatible with most chat clients; i don't know if it can create-your-own like you mentioned.

kaiden in Indiscernible from Magic, about +14Y ago:
It'd be a matter of creating another account on one of the services Beejive can connect to (ie, another Gmail/Gtalk account).

In a journey of infinite undiscovery and breaking things on my phone, I've found that the native Talk/Gchat application on Android doesn't support multiple accounts signed in (and in fact,

So, don't let me rain on your parade here, but there seem to be a few glaring flaws here. First, this option requires a data connection to work, and while this isn't a concern in most

Most users I've come across that use the texting of their phones also have a data plan. Case in point: every iPhone user that is forced to pay for a data plan simply because they own an

There's a hybrid solution to this problem that allows you to retain the use of text messaging UI on your phone, use your data plan to transmit the texts, and view/store/transmit/receive them

(nods) I've been using Voice for a while as well, but only in the capacity of having it transcribe my voicemails (or fail to do so). When I first set it up, I had only a non-jailbroken phone

My primary concern was that your IM-to-text plan wouldn't work where coverage is lacking.  If I'm somewhere that has no data network but does have signal then your setup is at a

kaiden in Indiscernible from Magic, about +14Y ago:
I'll grant you that: texting will work on minimal signal, and in the absence of a proper data network ("3G," etc.). However, lack of "data coverage" but having "signal

There are some cases, say in the gawdawful frozen tundra that is north of the Brooks Range, where I frequently have signal with no data, as it is evidently impossible to get "teh tubes"

Is there a heterosexual version of Grindr? The concept of this app is so frightening and fascinating.

kaiden in Indiscernible from Magic, about +14Y ago:
In that case, texting then would be a reasonable alternative. Sitting in one's cubicle in mid-town Anchorage? You have more options. (Also, I'll venture the poor performance of

Agreed...texting, Gchat, and interoffice IM are the only things that keep me sane during my 2 weeks in the North Slope Pen.

Thank goodness the corporations that operate there appear to have priority data connections.  Otherwise, how would we get our Facebook and Google Reader fixes?

Hahahah, yes. This is the demographic we need to target (30 to 40 year old, childrenless women). You could become a daddy more times over than you can count on two hands, eeeeeeeeeeeasy.
