Textecution Hopes To Put An End To Texting While Driving

Dec 22 2008

How It Works

A GPS fix determines when the phone is traveling higher than 10 mph and Textecution shuts down the texting abilities. If a user is not driving, he or she can request permission to turn texting on. The parent can allow for the texting to be enabled in this case.²

Reception

Textecution has been reviewed by publications including TechCrunch, Wired, Gizmodo, GSM Nation, KTEN, and AOL Finance.³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸
