TEXT MESSAGE TIP After the storm, there is limited communications on cell phones because of fallen satellite towers. A quick and easy alternative to talking on your cell phone is text messaging. Text messaging functionality runs on a different frequency range than regular voice frequency. Check with your cellular phone service provider about this feature. If you do not know how to text message, have a friend or family member give you a tutorial.
