It does seem like the best way to go.
I'm going to crawl into bed. My phone is dead.
So, I'm gonna plug it into the charger, let it charge enough to turn on.
Then, I'll send you a text message!
AWW! You gave your number out over the internet!
That is highly discouraged!
If I want. :P
Yes, that would be a lot quicker.
Though, that would require you getting my number...
and that would be bad. :P
