Hello Shawn!

 AA>> That's pretty drastic.  What if that message was "Hey Shawn..
 AA>> my new phone number is <nnn-nnn-nnnn>.  Give me a call!"

 SH> Why didn't they text it to me?    Even my mother texts.
 SH> Even my work phone; I disabled voicemail on it.  They can email
 SH> or send me a teams chat message.

Ah...  OK, then text is an alternative that you support.  
Excellent.

Personally, I would tend to NOT bother with texting unless it's  
the only way to reach someone in the USA since my Luckymobile  
plan only includes Canada-wide calling and international  
texting.


 AA>> my BlackBerry Q10 could support.     My Q10 is my principal
 AA>> phone for business, so I *have* to answer most "Unknown caller"

 SH> Different thing for sure, when I had a cell phone from work I would
 SH> asnwer it when I was on the clock.  Once I packed up my laptop I
 SH> shut down the cellphone and left it in my desk.

Hmmm..  nice to be able to leave "work" at the office!  My  
nights are filled with biz-related stuff.


 SH> Probably why the boss just re-assigned that phone and told
 SH> me to give myself a "dialpad" number, so I did. 

 SH> Dialpad is some overly buggy poorly designed voip software.

I use the free Fongo as an alternative/standby.  It has come in  
handy a few times when I would misplace my other phone.  If the  
misplaced phone is "on", then a call from Fongo would succeed  
in ringing the missing phone nearby.
