Personally I hate text messaging.  It takes me a long time and I cannot do it when I am driving.  As an attorney my clients do not want a text message, but some Realtors I work with like it!!! 

So, I found this site called "Jott.com" In a nutshell, Jott is a number i call that records my voice and transcribes what I say into an email or a text message for my staff or clients.  It is great when i am on the road and want to remind myself about something or if i need to send my staff instructions or keep in touch with a Realtor who loves to text.   

If you want to try it out simply set up an account on Jott.com.  When you get a new client that likes to text you can set them up for text messaging on Jott. Then when you call an 800 number, speak your message, Jott will transcribe the message and displays it as an email or text depending on how you set it up for your client.  It is much easier than texting. . . . check it out!
