Ok everyone, here's how you can send a text to us using Google Chat. It's free for you and it is cheaper for us to text you back on Google than texting your phone.
- You have to have a Google account to start with, so if you don't have one, get one and sign in.
- Put Lara and me in your Google contact list so you are able to start a chat with us.
- Initiate a chat with one of us.
- In the chat window, click "More"
- Click "Labs"
- Click "Enable SMS"
- Add Lara and my phone numbers to the list (+23279404457 for Kevin, Lara's number ends with 458)
- Now when you send a chat to one of us, we will get it as a text on our phone! When we text you back it's to a local number so it only costs us 2 credits, as opposed to 8 for international texts. If you're not there when we respond, it'll send to your email.
This is not true!
ReplyDeleteI have a Google+ account, and I have added you both to circles, but I think you have to add me. The only person that I can chat with is Eric and he is the only person that has added me to a circle. I don't know if this assumption makes sense, but I can't figure out any other way for this to work.
hmmm making this happen. Will investigate with my droid and report back.
ReplyDeleteLiz, try getting in contact with Keith about this. I think he's done it. I don't know though. Best of luck!
