If there were a way to just pound morse on one key on the phone, I could easilly text at 30 WPM and do it blind. Ya mean like [this](http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/12/nokia-files-patent-for-morse-code-generating-cellphone/) ? I’m not sure if I could match your 30 wpm, you might have to QRS to 25 because I’m not quite an old geezer yet. I’ll keep practicing. ---

> [@eleanorigby](#): > > Thanks for the heads up re texting on the computer. We have Singular phones, so I have no clue how to go about it. From the Cingular website: **Can I send and receive e-mail messages using my wireless phone?** All Cingular phones are set up to send and receive email messages by using the following address: [yournumber@cingularME.com](mailto:yournumber@cingularME.com). You can exchange short e-mails with any e-mail address worldwide. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/perplexed-about-text-messaging/338099.md?page=2)
