    i hated texting. now thats how i would rather communicate, cause i hate being on the phone even more.

    everyone knows to text me if the need to tell me something important because 90% of the time i wont pick up the phone when it rings. thats what VM is for. that way i can get the the info and i dont have to talk to poeple.

    if people would actually learn to call, discuss what needs to be discussed, and skip the bullshit chit chat b4 and after the main reason for the call, i would be more inclined to pick up the phone.

    thats just me though.

    and i'm a stand-offish prick.

    Basically how I look at it too :)

    Used to text all the time, but went to the phone store about a month ago and got rid of texting because it caused my phone bills to be sky high.

    Don't even miss it.


    i dont get all these "it costs too much" posts.

    i pay 5 bucks a month for unlimited text for both my phone and my GF's

    that 2.50 a month per phone.

    who do you guys have your cell's through?

    my service is through sprint and the reason the cost was so high is because my phone plan was 20 cents a text, not a flat rate for unlimited texting. all those 20 cent texts add up.

    guess i could have changed my plan to lower the cost, but looking at the situation now i'm much happier with not texting anymore. it saves a lot of time and when i do talk on the phone it's better because you can talk everything out with the person instead of wasting time, energy and money to type out messages one at a time.

    a 2-5 minute phone call is much more cheap and efficient than an hour of back-and-forth texting to get the same amount of information.

    I text. Means I know I'm not going to be disturbing someone while they're at work, eating dinner etc and they can reply in their own time.

    Noticed a few people saying it costs for them to recieve texts ... it's not like that in the UK. Think I would text and call less if I knew the other person was having to pay to receive the calls/texts. Have a few friends that I know have to pay to recieve texts in their country so would never just send chatty texts like I would to people in the UK.

    I've never sent a text message. I didn't know I had it until I started getting spam, and was charged for the messages. I had them turn it off.
