in/at/on a mobile phone?
I'd like to learn how you say that "you have received an SMS on your cellular/mobile phone". How do you translate that sentence?
What I'm most interested in is the preposition you use to introduce "the phone"?
For instance, in Italian we say: "Ho (I have) ricevuto (received) un SMS (an SMS) sul mio cellulare (ON my cellular)".
Thanks for any help

Hello Nader
Yes, "texted" is very common – in British English, at least.
(And sometimes people say "text" as the past tense.)
