Wize Buying Guide for Text Messaging

Text messaging has quickly become a popular and useful form of communication. If you are somewhere with a lot of background noise – a sporting event or a night club for instance – texting someone is easier and more reliable than calling them. To meet the demand of this new form of communication, manufacturers are making many phones designed specifically for text messaging.

Some of the phones best suited for this have built-in "qwerty" keyboards. These phones are usually designed so that the keyboard either swivels out from the side, or the top of the phone flips up to reveal a keyboard underneath. Some higher-end models, such as the Samsung Blackjack or the Blackberry, have full keyboards right on the front of the phone. Less costly phones without keyboards offer different features to help make texting easy, like automatic word recognition and pre-built lists of commonly used phrases.

If you do a lot of text messaging, look for a phone with a big screen that can display the whole message at once, and check out other features that you might also like, such as internet capability, a built-in camera and the ability to play MP3 music.
