Diana, That was too funny. I hate those smart phone texting things. HATE them! Love the QWERTY way!! You can get pretty fast with your thumbs. As for the clients texting for appointments/cancels/etc-- I will not let my clients do it that way. There is a ghost in my phone that auto deletes messages/texts & e-mails. ALL of the unsaved ones. For this reason I told all of them to please not text if it has anything to do with their appointment.
I had two no shows recently. When I called them, they said they texted. I never got the texts. Technology can be great and it can be a PITA. I also have lots of facial and waxing clients that are done in another room and I never take my Blackberry in with me for those services. Sooooo, I very likely will not know if someone called because I do not check my phone a lot in the salon. For me it is best that they call the landline when it has to do with their appointment. BTW--your apostrophe is likely on the 1 key.

My son can text with his eyes closed. It was great when I had to get ahold of him in school, would slowly, hit those keys and ask him a question. too funny, no cell phones in school, but everyone had/has them. Finally got smart and got him a phone plan, free texting. Was costing me a fortune. Okay that was 2 years ago. I finally got free texting, a couple of months ago. I had a limit of about 10 a month!!!LOLOL well have to be available to the kids. I HATE texting, I LOVE texting. My problem, takes me sooo long. Ya know, the abc is on one key, and so this old fart is finding the letter, need a c, hit it once, okay twice, oh there it is the third touch, and the c.....BUT wait a minute Diana, you hit it four times and now you have a 2, push the back button, ohhhhhhhhhh START ALL OVER!!! and where oh where is the ' button???? can't spell can't without a ' key!!! LOLO And then the "Hey, will fill in the words for you" phone. "I am such a smart phone, I know what you want to type/say" Well, that got me into trouble!!!! I was out of town, texted my son. "hi", and he texts back and says "hi what", I texted back, "Just hi" All of a sudden he starts texting me these weird things, I am thinking what the hell is he talking about. I decided to get on the road, hour an a half drive. Checked my phone when I got home, from him and my daughter, they are freaking out about something, weird weird. Just go to bed, it is late. The next morning both kids are slamming me!!!! Did you drive? WTF Mom? I am like, what in world is going on. Well, my dear smart phone that KNOWS everything that I think and say, and knows my life, texted the following..Instead of "Just hi" It said "JUST GOT HI"!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GAWD. TOOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now have I ever ever wrote those words? Hell NO. Damn phones. Soooo, this texting thing has been limited to my kids until the last couple of months. Now my clients are texting me instead of calling me to check or change their appointments. OH GREAT. Will add another couple of hours to my day!!LOLOLO Just call me all ready!!!! So off to Sprint to find me a "texting" phone, with a damn key board, who would figure that 10 years ago I would be ever be making appointments by a damn phone who thinks it knows me.(which going to make sure it doesn't GUESS what I am going to type) GO FIGURE.....Texting is the future, well not really, it is everyone elses PAST, my future lolololol diana from indiana --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
