After losing my LG phone somewhere, I purchased a startac off ebay. Its not
bad, but I can't seem to get the Txt msging working. I read online that the
startac can only receive and not send out. If i upgrade the firmware, then
it will work supposedly. Is this true?

Thanks,
Sanjay

Right. The last software revision (7654, I believe) added two-way text
messaging (I have two of them). Assuming that your favorite VZW store
still has the software and cables to do the upgrade.

Without T-9 or the Motorola equivalent text entry shortcut software,
it's painfully slow to enter text on the Startac.
