Calculators Can TI-84 calculator send text messages or email?

Click For Summary
The Texas Instruments TI-84 calculator is favored for its versatility, being used for various tasks including programming and personal interactions. There is interest in modifying the TI-84 to send text messages or emails through external circuits, though this idea faces skepticism regarding its feasibility. Suggestions include utilizing existing chat programs designed for the TI-83/84 series. Critics argue that repurposing the calculator for such communication tasks may not be practical, recommending instead the use of an old Android phone for messaging capabilities. Overall, while innovative ideas are presented, the practicality of modifying the TI-84 for communication purposes is questioned.

Appreciate replies

Why don't you just buy an old android phone instead of re-purposing a calculator to do things it wasn't meant to?
Was not a very thoughtful question. I am sorry for dishonoring you.

I must have gone through 5 Canon, 2 HP, one Brother, one Epson and two 4 X 6 photo printers in the last 7 yrs. all have all sort of problems. I don't even know where to start anymore. my price range is $180-$400, not exactly the cheapest ones.
