Text messages cost me 20 cents apiece... there is no friggin' WAY i'd want any part of that happy crappy!
text messages to my phone weren't that much but still...some friends couldn't understand that I had to pay for each one so I finally ended up getting text added to my account. 400 for like $5/mo. haven't used all of those in a month yet.

I go through that many in just a few days.

When I was working I went through several thousand. But working nights is boring as hell and I knew others that were night owls or working and that's how we kept each other awake and entertained, especially when the forum slows down.

I don't know if I have that much to say. hell, I just figured out how to use the predictive text feature. LOL

I have learned that some of the words I use are not on the list.

I've never used the predictive text feature.

When I first started texting I got the 400 texts. That lasted all of a month. I have unlimited internet (another feature I used to keep my entertained at work) and texting. Unfortunately, I got my phone on special and part of my contractual obligation on getting a free smartphone was keeping internet on it. It's only a $7 difference between the minimal package and the one I got so I keep it. If I drop the internet, they're going to charge me full price for my phone.

if you do that much texting it's a wonder you have thumbs left not using predictive text. LOL

Hell, I don't think I've ever actually sent a text message from my phone... and for a while I was carrying around an old Treo with a full keyboard I'm in front of a computer 15 hours a day... why would i want to stare at an itty-bitty screen while trying to poke at teeny-tiny buttons?

I used to think the same way... I blame Tracy for making me the text whore that I am now.

I may just start using Twitter. There are people on my Facebook that I do not want seeing my every move or everything I say. It's annoying that I have to censor it.

So start tossing out "friends" if you don't want them on your Facebook
