Question

Free texting

Oct 13, 2011 7:15AM PDT

I've been reading lately about free texting services like textplus, whatsapp and pinger. I am a tracfone user and these products don't seem to be usable on the LG800. Does anyone know a free text service that is?

And no apps from what I can tell. Maybe you can see if there is some web app you can use at home?

Not sure what you meant by "no apps," because there are a ton which do run on Java's O.S. which is "Opera," but free text would be nice.

Can you share some site that has these apps for the LG800? I came up empty.

I found Java apps for these phones to be so sparse to be non-existent.
