Who needs this option? SMS via Xfinity, they should concentrate on providing content.

Sir, I have comcast phone, tv, Internet. We are an older couple and only use tracfone because it is much cheaper. Plus we don't get cell service at our home. With free texting from our iPod touches even my husband who did not like to text on his phone is using it quite often. I spent a week in the hospital and used 700 minutes texting. If this was available I would have saved those minutes. Since my children and other young friends prefer to text I talk to them more. So there are those of us who like very much we can do this from our landline. Thank you for your time. Donna Scala from Puttsburgh PA
