Hey, friend,

send you a
warm hug and
some sunshine
to let you know
you're in my
thoughts today.
I'll do my best
to send you
the warmth of summer
when winter winds
come your way and thios my phon number 0233275997787

Question - Can we SMS contacts list? I'd like to save my contacts and later load them to another phone. Can I send an SMS message that enters a contact into the phone ?
