From Yahoo

A new app called Text No More has been released with the goal of stopping people from texting on their cell phones while driving, thus hopefully saving lives. It is not the only app that offers a means to prevent texting and driving, but it does have a catch that the others do not. When the app is active, users that are texted will not receive the text. Instead they will receive a coupon from a sponsor as a reward for using the app, which essentially rewards the user for obeying the laws by not answering text messages while driving.

Does it save you from the per-text charge when someone texts you? I hate that - pay for someone else's usage. :mad:

That's why I am glad to have unlimited texting.

All this sounds like to me is a marketing gimmick. While it is a good idea, it sounds too commercial to me.

And from our friends at GM, new ways to update Facebook and keep up with texts while driving :(
