Re: [info-tech] text messaging

[Tom and Linda Huseman]

I have blocked some sites by adding the word messaging to my filter list, but I don't think that is going to catch them all.  You wouldn't believe all of the free text messaging sites on the web that are available other than your cell phone provider.  Thanks for everyones suggestions, I will give them a try as well.   Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Ney To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 7:35 AM Subject: RE: [info-tech] text messaging I know you can text message to a cell phone by using the web site of your cell phone service.  I can send a message from uscellular.com if I enter my cell phone number and the number of the phone I want to send to.  If you can find out the web site(s) they are sending from, you can probably add the site(s) to your firewall.   I assume you are not talking about Instant Messaging like MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, or AOL Instant Messenger.  I have those sites blocked with my firewall already.  There are probably others, but I have not found any that install on the local machines.   Brian Ney N.
