What's the big deal? I use a text app because my main number doesn't give me complete privacy, it's a one-click open window into my entire work and personal life, which I prefer to keep private. There are some SP's who won't communicate with a text app, which is their choice of course. But the question is why not? Presumably it's a safety issue, but to use a text app I need to register it with an email address that is tied to an IP address and a device. I could easily be identified with my text app number. My text app was downloaded using my Apple ID. These connections provide security to whoever might be concerned about a client's identity. One time a SP who doesn't accept text apps wanted to do a screening call to make sure I was all good and called me on my text app, we had a nice call which proved nothing to disprove that I wasn't on a text app! So we had a rendezvous. I was texting with a SP yesterday and had everything arranged but the price menu was a JPG that didn't come thru the text app, so she asked if I was using one (after 5 rounds of correspondence and just making final arrangements). When I said yes, she flipped out, called me up on the app and ripped a strip off me for wasting her time. WTF? I was stunned at the response. I was simply being honest and didn't deserve that! So again, what's the big deal with text apps????
