E-Z Text Messaging 4 Grandparents

I purchased this primarily as a gag gift for my Mother in law, who at 67 years old thought she and her husband would get iPhones. I told them it was a waste of technology yet she would have to learn to text more often. She had given me pointers to NOT send her any abbreviated text messages, so I sent her a note with the book in what she called hieroglyphocs. Now that we've had a good laugh, it is a perfect gift. It was written by a grandparent so it gets on their level so to speak. Although its not quite as "dictionary like" as I would've wanted its still informative.

In all fairness to this book: it does have the definition of several acronyms, and walks you thru steps in making basic symbols. This book spends a lot of time explaining how to use the key pad on your cell phone . This is a small book with 65 pages of easy to read lettering and offers personal comments as it encourages "Grandparents" to begin corresponding with their grandchildren. I was hoping for a dictionary style listing of major acronyms, letter combinations with and without numbers or punctuation and was disappointed.

Cool way grandparents learn to text

Very helpful for a grandparent.

My Mom has a cell phone but does not know how to use text messages. Amazon had this book, so I sent to to my Mom and within a week she text hello to me! Very quick to ship out! I know how to text, so I probably won't be using this seller again, but you never know. Thanks very much! LAH

This is written in a simplified manner and I was able to send a text message on my out-of-date cell phone.

I expected less dictionary, more tutorial for this senior

Not Bad.
