What is Vtext and pixv?
There was a web-based text service available at one time that's now retired (replaced by Verizon Messages) that was called Vtext.com. You can still use the feature where someone can e-mail you and it show up on your phone as a text by e-mailing to your10digitnumber@vtext.com (for SMS) or your10digitnumber@vzwpix.com (for MMS).
