Do you text?

[The KingPin]

I read somewhere that a 13 year old girl ran up like 14,500 text messages for a month. Now although I hope her parents had unlimited texting, Do you text at all?

I am a bad texting person. I think one of the worse things are phones that try and guess the words that you are typing to "In Theory" type in order to make your life easier. I end up with words that make no sense and are all messed up.

Anyways what are your thoughts on texting and do you talk or text more?

I text but only a couple hundred a month

[kev3inp]

I don't but the wife does. At least she spells the stuff out or I wouldn't be able to follow it. It's bad enough so many people can't spell now. This only makes it worse.

It takes me forever to send a text. My grandson puts me to shame.

I only text when I'm answering a text someone else sent.
it just seems pointless given the fact that you can push 1 button, and call a person faster than typing out a text

I do not text but my girls do. If I decide to go with text I need to get a phone with a keyboard, the one I have right now is the cheap typical phone pad. I'd never get a text typed, it takes me forever to put in a contact name. :mad: :)

Good point. Why not call instead of typing. Yet I guess if you are in a meeting or in a public place

I don't text at all. If someone wants to talk to me all they need to do is push 1 button. If I'm busy - leave me a message. If you need a reply, I'll call you back wehen I'm free. If you're busy, I'll leave you a message. Much simpler, and faster.

lol - i text more minutes than I talk, and I avg about 1400 monthly voice. I text my wife most of the times, god love her, but it's so much faster that way, she gets her point across faster and tells me directly if she needs something or wanted something. Otherwise, when I answer the call, it takes about 15 minutes for can you pick up yadda yadda yadda or are you subbing tonight. :) My daughter texts while she's in bed to her friends from school, even though she doesn't know we know. We get online option for all texting from her phone as a precaution, she is 12 now. Just want to make sure she is safe. Not being over protective or big brother

I do have a Treo, so texting is fast, and I setup shortcut keys for entire words and I have many sentences already too. people ask me how I text so fast, I just say cause I'm good. I don't tell them my secrets, but I guess it's out now.

I'm just glad it's all unlimited.

I average about 100 txt msg's a day.

Yeah, that's a program called "T9." I don't like that either. You can turn it off, I'm just not sure how to do it on your phone, I don't even know what phone you have! hahaha.

I'm not a HUGE texter, but I've been known to send a couple. These days it's easier because I have a phone that gives me an onscreen keyboard instead of the regular keypad.

[comfortably numb]

By the year 2050, texting while driving will be killing more people than drunk driving each year...count on it.

[The Mayor]

It will be way before that, Mr. Green Giant. I say within 10 years.

[Trex]
