I was thinking about adding texting to my voice plan when I consolidate Sonya and I on the same family plan under Verizon after her contract with AT&T expires shortly.
I own a Droid and thought: I wonder if there are any free texting services. I did some looking around and found Google Voice.
It's free.
When you sign up you actually get your own free personal number. That single number can be associated with as many phone numbers as you like. I have mine set up to auto-forward to my cell number. I now advertise my Google Voice number to others.
With my Droid, I'm able to use Google Voice to send and receive texts from my phone. I'm also able to set up my Droid to make calls through Google Voice. That way, people see my Google Voice phone number when I call or text them.
Add to all this that the voicemail service in Google Voice will transcribe the message left and e-mail it to you.
I'm digging this service and increasingly love having a smart phone.
