demitrix Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 be careful with the cell phone nick name thing on vtext. my ex set hers to beth and for weeks was gettin hundreds of texts a day from random number, california to dc. Didnt make the connection for a few weeks soon as she got rid of the nickname the texts stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
