“if you took out your phone and texted someone during krias hamegillah, would you still be yotzi?”
Why not? If he is sure he heard every word, why wouldnt he be yotzei?
if you took out your phone and texted someone during tekias shofar, would you still be yotzi? (yes I know texting is assur on yom tov or any day according to some that isnt the point of this thread)
