It seems that Morse code is not available, why?

Although I don't know Morse code, but my cellphone has a software to transfer Morse code. So it is funny to have a try. But it seems that Morse code is not available and I don't understand why. Perhaps there is another advanced code for it?

The only morse code that i know is for S-O-S, which is two longs and a short, actually long, short, long. I think that's right. I would be signaling the wrong thing I fear if we were all trapped on a sinking or stranded ship with only morse code as our available communication. I don't think it would be too hard to learn. I don't know many ways to use morse code these days, if you have a cell phone. But, I guess it still serves a useful purpose.

I also think it is not easy to learn the Morse Codes

hello youless. It's really impractical at this time to use morse code. Using it requires experience both on the sender and receiver side. I don't see any reason (except for learning) why people should use it. Like what others said, enjoy now since we already have the technology that's a lot easier and convenient to use.

But Morse Code has its own advantages, too

youless, I suppose the new communication technology is much more easy and user friendly for the everyday layman than the Morse Code which will require additional learning. Besides, Morse Code equipments like an Econo Keyer aren't that portable as compared to a simple cellphone, which is so much easily accessible and carry around. I know there may be cellphone or rather smartphone apps for this but again, who will want it over short text messages. I suppose the average person will still prefer something more straightforward and easy. Besides, there are some people already struggling with short text messaging what more to send a message in Morse Code. Take care and compliments of the season.

hi youless because its old and inefficent and needs large stuff that does not go with modern cellp;hones, we have advanced past that into easier to use codes that are more easy for an ordinary street person to use. so just relax and be 'glad we are much further ahead now.

If I don't have this software, I can't understand or make Morse codes by myself
