Quick: Can you recommend a simple, free, web-based texting app?
More: My friend and I are in carrier limbo, she on MetroPCS, I on T-Mobile. She can't call me but I can call her. She can text me, I can't text her (though I do get a delivery report, she never sees the text). It's been going on for a couple weeks. These issues don't seem to extend to her other contacts, nor mine. We've checked the obvious stuff, and removed batteries to see if we can get right with our carriers. While we work through this mess, we are unable to contact each other to arrange rides to work, etc.
So, if we each had a simple web-based texting app that didn't rely on the carriers, we'd be in a lot better shape during this weirdness. Neither one of us want to use the Facebook app. We don't need to share pictures. We don't need to talk to anyone but ourselves. It's overkill on features, but would Whatsapp be a good fit?
Thank you in advance.
