iPhone 6S can no longer receive emailed text messages - 6 months ago

My mom and her husband both converted from Verizon to Xfinity voice and both have iPhone 6S's. Since Xfinity still uses Verizon the email to text format is still @vtext.com.

QuoteRgrF QuoteSchpark My current ride is a 2013 Ford Flex. Best wagon and vehicle I have ever had. Not a Ford fan. My first (as noted above ) was a Ford - first and only one I ever did or ever again would own. That's too bad, your loss I guess. I have owned nothing but Fords and have great success. Don't understand the bias against Ford on this forum.

Re: I haven't skied for 30 years - 1 year ago

Turning on the new skiis is different then the old style and I went through the learning curve a while back as I had the same experience as Drew. Can read some articles but the skiis do most of the turning due to the larger sidecut. Angle the edge to the snow and it will carve the arc. Doesn't require as much weighting and unweighting the skiis or skidding.
