    I like texting. Then you don't have to spend time with the extraneous stuff about 'how are you bla bla bla' before you can cut to the purpose of the communication.

    I probably use my phone for texting about 80% of the time and only 20% of the time actually calling people. I hate talking on the phone.

    I like texting when I'm not in the mood for chatting. :p
    I'm not a fan of phone chatting either.

    Face-to-face conversation is still the best way of communication.

    its actually an awful deal your using. I recently got a 3 contract. they gave me the smartest phone i've ever owned and for £20 or so i get unlimted texts and so many minutes phone calls.

    my wife is on Orange and she pays £15 per month, got a new Samsung U800 phone that does everything and for that £15 a month its unlimited texts and 100 minutes call time.

    Yes but 3 have awful coverage in the Midlands and do not have UK based call centres, o2 do... added bonus, not only do the people you speak to at o2 speak with a discipherable English accent, but they also know what they're talking about.... oooooh, imagine! (Dave is on 3, I've heard his rantings about their poor service)

    Out of interest, how much (once you've gone over your so many minutes calls) are your calls per minute?

    Mine are 2p flat rate.

    I also have a rather nice, smart phone which does eevrything, that I bought with my discount thanks to being a loyal customer.

    oh, and i'm not tied into an 18 month contract I don't want to be in.

    Win-win all round for me.

    I'm not a big texter but it is good for those things when you just need to send a quick message but don't need a whole convo.

    It's an English term of endearment :)

    tell em its wild crazy drunken English talk from across the way.
    this is my mission for today.
    believe me i can't hardly wait to get started.
    where's my phone?

    I send and receive probably 50 texts a day (or more).

    I fucking love it. You can talk to people without actually having to talk. What could be better?
