Hi Phil and Sandy,
Well, that's way cool. I saw your messages on the loving Mobile Speak
list. I call it Mobile Squeak. lol. I love that program.
Do you both have to pay $30.00 a month for internet access with Verizon?
I'm just not ready to do that yet.
I'm happy for you both. lol.
Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
