a1911handler Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I put the number on 'speed dial'. Plus I am using an app I found for my Droid that lets me program a text to be sent at any interval I want for as long as I want. I'm going to use 'text to voice' and ask this guy every day at close of business if he would call or text me with an update on the RV. Sound Good? Said with as sarcastic as a voice as I can muster. Oh yeah, when he calls me back (I'm pretty sure he will, because I'm an American) I'll post what he says for everyone here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
