Help?, page 1The best place for help is the LiveTxt Help Center. There are over 70 pages of help files that are nicely categorized for you needs and have good screen shots to help you become a LiveText Power User!


Help?, page 2Near the bottom right edge of each LiveText screen is a [email protected] button. Clicking it will put you into an e-mail dialog box in which you can communicate with the LiveText customer support for 24-hour turn-around answers. They are often MUCH quicker than that!Although the Help Center and Customer Support are much better options, you can always try to contact Phil Martinez at [email protected] or 951-343-4346
