How does it work, do I have to be connected to wi-fi?
The Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 uses it’s existing wi-fi technology to allow you to send text messages to cell phones. To start texting you first create an account on your Z2, this account is created the first time you turned your Z2 on (see Getting Started). Once you create an account a unique identifier is associated with your account and your Z2. In order to send a text to someone you have to enter them into your MyFriendz list as a cell phone buddy. Once you add a cell phone buddy you can then text them and it works just like a IM chat.
