Hey so I've got a question about txt messaging and old phones...
I've only sent an image over txt once, and that was on a smartphone.
But I've been watching old TV shows, and people would send photos in the middle of a call all the time, on a lot of different TV shows. But like, did that actually work? I somehow doubt that was possible, my phones _still_ hate to receive images, even when they're not doing anything else, but it was such a wide spread casual thing in TV shows at the time that it suggests that it actually was.
