Coming Up On Good Morning America - Extreme Texters



Stay tuned to Good Morning America for "Extreme Texters".

The story should be on Friday's show. Chris Cuomo talks to me, Preston McVeigh and Kimberly Garcia and our parents.

Text "Emilee" To 30644 And Do Something!

Since I'm in the news for doing nothing (just texting all the time) I thought it would be good to actually DO SOMETHING.

Kristin from Sprint set us up to meet with dosomething.org while we were in New York this week.

They set up a pretty cool program where you can text the word "Emilee" to 30644 and you'll get back a short message from me and then you can text back your zip code to get a text back with volunteer opportunities in your area.

Here is a link for more details on the dosomething.org website.

The video is coming soon.

Thanks to Etan Horowitz at the Orlando Sentinel for writing about it on his blog Etan on Tech on Monday (click below to read all about it)


The story also ran in the Orlando Sentinel on Tuesday.

Go ahead and try it .......text Emilee to 30644 and DO SOMETHING!

Emilee Cox on Inside Edition



My story got bumped a few times for real news like the NY plane crash and the inauguration of President Obama, but the story finally aired on Friday January 23rd.

Here is a link to the story.


I'll upload the video soon.

Emilee Cox - Talking About Texting With Bud Heddinger


Did a talk radio interview with Bud Heddinger from 540 WFLA in Orlando

This is from the 540WFLA.COM website....

Local Teen is Text Message Champ! 14-year-old Emilee Cox from Clermont doesn't like talking on the phone. She'd rather use her cell phone to text message with her friends, which she does up to 35,000 times a month!! Now texting doesn't work for talk radio, but Emilee agreed to phone me during today's show and share her amazing story, which is getting national attention.

Interviewed by Spyder Harrison on the Weekend Countdown on Sirius Hits 1.

Thanks Sypder! It was fun.






Emilee Cox - On ESPN? You've GOT to be kidding!


Ok....so my brother Charles wasn't impressed by the Orlando Sentinel article, the Fox35 TV interview or even the other online articles.

But when PTI came on ESPN on Wednesday that all changed.

During the open to the show Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser were talking about it.

I don't have it on video...note to ESPN.....I really would like to have one :).....but I do have the PTI podcast.

Emilee Cox - Weird Wednesday - Already in London?


So I knew I was going to be in the Orlando Sentinel....I wasn't too shocked to see the story quickly picked up in Tampa....but to have it reach the website for the London Daily Mail within 6 hours?
In the actual newspaper the next day it was a tiny article on the same page as Amy Winehouse.
