I dont understand why people keep on text messaging me, when they can just call me. I mean they're are special circumstances, like when you are in school or whatever. I mean are people afraid to talk to me or something. Could that be the reason? Or maybe Im just weird. But text messaging annoys me because you cant really express yourself. This whole week my phone has been filled with texts. Asking stuff like: "How are you?", "Do you want to go to Marine World on Sat.?", "Hows your summer?" and other non-important stuff. And its taking up the memory on my phone. But isnt just calling someone easier than texting? What do you think about it?

Yea, that's true. But I guess some people prefer the unfamiliarity of text messaging. It makes things easy for a lazy person. _dry.gif

I don't like text messaging because if you actually want to say something, you'd have to send like 20 texts, which gets to be expensive, so in the end it's pointless.

I hate texting while I'm not in class. I think it's pointless. PLUS it costs a lot. My phone bill went through the roof last month because of those damn text messages. stubborn.gif

Verizon texting was recently just raised to 10 cents to recieve & send text messages. We got a new plan yesterday, (yeaaaah upgraded phones!) and now I get the plan for $2.99 for 100 texts (to both recieve & send). I like text messaging, because if you don't want to waste minutes, you can just text them. Like for example, I dunno about anyone else.. but I have Verizon is my phone provider. If your only on the phone for 35 seconds.. that still counts up to 1 minute. And if your on the phone for 1:01 minutes it automatically goes up to 2 minutes. I would rather send a text message then waste those kinda minutes. I don't wanna take my sister or dads minutes up either, for a pointless phone call.

I like text messaging. Last year, my friends and I (all from different schools) would text each other during class. Lol, none of us got caught.

I only text my hubby, and that's just for short messages. As in, "I'll be home soon" or "Get dinnner ready", etc.

In certain situations it's okay. But like if you're walking around your neighborhood punching little letters all the time...that's different. Just call the person dammit!

Yes-it's very annoying. One of my friends LOVES to text message me from her prep class. Stupid me replies back (my fingers are soar by the time I'm done) and then the bill comes. Total. Panick.
Just thought I'd share my story and point out the evils of text messaging.

Also. Text messages are okay. After a while they kinda get annoying. But on the other hand..I'm not really allowed to text cuz my bill gets really high. ermm.gif

i like it.  _unsure.gif it's cheaper for small details that you dont want to spend on. like "what time you coming?"

of course, i call too, but txting is a cool feature..

agreed. its easy for just a fast message and whatnot, or of course when you can't actually call...like text messaging during class...which i do a lot. tongue.gif
