Hi
I am using talks. Is there a way for me to copy my contacts
list and save it as a text file so that I can copy them into
my address book in the pc?
Also, is there a limit on the number of words in a text
message?
I have another mobile phone that won't take talks. Is there
a way for me to forward the messages from that phone number
to my other phone with talks automatically?
Regards
Adrien
