Ok thanks now it all makes more sense now. Ive always installed either NRGZ or another Sense 2.5 messaging client cab because my MMS never worked anyways with Cricket so i really never used the roms stock WM sms. So I just have to wait for a contact to send me a txt msg and then ill be able to send or reply to that contact with a txt msg that i can then send from the contacts tab. Am i understanding this right. Thanks for the info and quick responses to all the questions. It really is appreciated.
