Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

Driving around today I saw an ad on the back of a city bus advertising a new service from Golden One Credit Union - text banking! For the life of me I can't think of any significant banking I'd want to do through texting unless it is the only possible way to do something. Checking my balance and transferring funds between accounts are the only necessary activities that come to mind and those can both be done by phone or by using a public computer at places such as a public library or your hotel lobby. But texting??!
