I'm not sure I see that, but you may well be right. I won't dispute your
point.

Yes, that's what I'm looking for. One of the other responders posted what he
thinks it is; I'm hoping he turns out to be right. I can't test it until

Verizon's is on their Web site. You have to look for it, and it's accompanied
by warnings that you're on your own because they neither sell nor support PC
messaging software, but it's there.

I'd ask you about Sprint's number, but I don't think any of the people who
need to receive messages from our computer are Sprint users.
