Can TI-84 calculator send text messages or email?

In summary, the conversation revolved around using the Texas Instruments TI-84 calculator for purposes beyond its intended use, such as sending text messages and emails. The suggestion of using external circuits and advanced electronics was brought up, but it was deemed unlikely to be successful. The conversation also mentioned the availability of chat programs for the TI-83/84, but the idea of using an old android phone instead was suggested instead.

Well the texas instruments ti-84 calculator is my favorite toy. I use it for anything I can from getting a girl to put her phone number in my calculator to programming.

Is there a way to somehow add an external circuit that can make the ti-84 send text messages. I bet there would have to be a sexy external antenna and some pretty advance electronics but has it ever been done?

Another possibility is using the ti-84 to send emails. Is there some sort of external circuit that would be able to send emails by using the ti-84 as the interface?
Appreciate replies

I highly doubt you could realistically get it to message other devices or send email.

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.
