Can they put a notice for the text based SL for the people that aren't in it?

I have run into this a few times now. Sending a tp to someone that is in text only on there phones. They need to put some kind of notice in the chat box so that we know that they are in text only. It mades me feel like bad for doing it and stupid. Please resolve.

Resolve? Who, we? We are residents as you

Perhaps you can use SL Bug Tracker.

Anyone who is getting messages on a mobile device like that is using Metabolt or one of the other text-based TPVs.  Your own viewer may be smart enough to detect which viewer that other person is using, but there's no way that it knows what features it has (or doesn't have).    There's absolutely no reason why you should feel bad or stupid for not knowing either.  When you talk with someone on the telephone in RL, you can't tell whether the person is blind or in a wheelchair, whether the person is 25 years old or 65, gay or straight.  If those things are relevant to your conversation, you either ask or the other person volunteers the information.  Same in SL. If you want to TP someone, get in the habit of asking, "May I TP you?"

Don't feel bad.  Some text only viewers include the ability to teleport, or to accept teleport offers.  Mobile Grid Client for Android, for example.  You still can't SEE the person you teleported to, but at least you can use local chat with them.
