Text Messaging Options

[Im So Vain]

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?

[maia_dc]

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

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.

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

I rather use my cell then text I hate punching in those little letters.
So anoyying lol

[*Tainted Euphoria*]

Yeah, I was never a big fan of text messaging. I'm still not. I just love to talk, so yeah, CALL ME. No Texting...X_X

[yummy_delight]

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.

[jeSs1cA]

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.

[/end rambling]

[iiTsDAYNA]

ITS ADDICTING~! I LOVE TEXT MESSAGING.
sorry...Just try telling them to not text message you unless its important..

[*salcha*]

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.

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

Last month my bill was so much.
I texted to much and my parents got mad at me

[KrunkMuzik]

Yeah, text mssg. is expensive. The only time text messg. is for good use is during school or in LOUD or quiet places.

[whomps]

'Cause some people are phone-shy.

[iheartjohn]

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

[Nicolatofu]

well sometimes.. if you aren't allowed to talk on the phone.. or you're in the car with your mom.. it's a good little thingy.

[pshaa.shauna]

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!

[*incoherent*]

if its taking up memory...delete them and call the people that send them to you and tell them to stop.

[..:loveee.NuTTii]

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.

[Im So Vain]

i always panick when i get the bill too. sometimes i wish i didnt have a cel though, so i wont have to worry bout the bills.

[parallel]

If it's taking up the memory in your phone then delete the messages.
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.

[*stephinika*]

i like it.  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.

[lbjshaq2345]

i love text messaging cuz its perfect when i dont wanna talk to somebody but i dont wanna piss em off by ignoring them

[miss barnes]

i text when i dont wanna talk to the person. its for people that i need to tell something but hate getting into conversations with

[coconutter]

I love texting in school and at the movies ^.^

[pshaa.shauna]

I love texting in school and at the movies ^.^

I'm sorry I gotta ask...If you paid to see a movie, why would you text message in it?

[ANG33ZY]

Yeah sometimes it is, when it's unneccessary.

[mouse_3k]

I LOVE text messaging. its like AIM but on the phone. I love texting in school. texting is fun to me. Sometimes talking on the phone isnt tht bad either since Id rather hear someones voice then read. both is fine for me

[Aestuarium]

I hate typing on cellphones... it's slow and confusing (and my fingers hurt) but I don't find it THAT annoying.

[crazeegirl411]

Sometimes if you have something important to say and it's too short for a small phone call, it's really useful.

Or if you missed a call and received a text instead. Perfect.

Texting could be fun sometimes. To me anyway :>.

[shortiiex]

texts take so long...but they give more expression in the words...liek peopel say hey sexy bitch in text but they don't say it in calls

[*xcaitlinx*]

don't some phone companies charge a monthly fee for unlimited text messages?

[iL0v3CaPtAiN0AtS]

yeah i know what you mean. it's so pointless and stupid. and if you do it too much, it gets expensive...-

[DullStringedGuit...]

yea texting really gets annoying...
my friend got 7 texts all at the same time (yes i kno off topic )

[YourSuperior]

Actually, I love text messaging. That's mostly what I do on my phone. I hardly talk lol. I think it's more fun.

[toodlepops.]

Maybe your friends haven't seen you all summer and their a bit shy to talk to you. Eh, iono.
Text-messages are a bit blah. Calling is so much easier, and you get an instant reply.

[pyrochick19770]

Man, I text like a frigin maniac.
But I don't have unlimited text so my bill's gonna be pretty high & my 'rents are going to SLAUGHTER me.

[xoxoxx]

it's fun texting friends in class =D. but i just hate putting all the letters because it's so annoying and time consuming.

[hair products]

i will challenge anyone to a text messaging speed competition. =p

[*AngelicEyz00*]

You're on, Cliff^

[jnukes]

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.

EGH, i hate that !! .. i have T-Mobile, but like . even if you call is like 1 second long, it still counts for a minute !! .. eghh ! .. lol .. & one minute, 1 second calls count as two minutes for me, too >=[

[hair products]

ya know elba

if we actually talked more i think i would've been like hey you wanna chill while i was cali, but yeah. it was fun anyway. i'm sure it would've been more fun to hang out with you, but then your gangsta bf would cut me.

[gelionie]

Text messaging is a lot more expensive comparing to actually calling someone.

Sometimes if I'm not sure if I should call someone, I send him/her a text message instead.

[DrSMooTH]

all i have to say is if you're texting in school, keep your phone on vibrate. I've gotten into more trouble because my phone went off during class because i was txting someone. Anyway, texting is fun. I did it to piss of my teachers most of the time.

[ichigofan]

AHH I hate Text messaging, My friend sends me about 10 messages a DAY! thank goodness that i get free texting or my phone bill would be over $300, But the good thing about text messages is that if they send you a message you have the choice to respond or not, so for the people that I might not like to talk to, I just ignore them +D

[towndani]

Actually, I love text messaging. That's mostly what I do on my phone. I hardly talk lol. I think it's more fun.

I agree.........
texting is FUN
i do the same thing.....
I don't really like phone calls, unless there is something important to talk about....
but, i think that if you are calling someone just to ask if they can hang out or something, it is much easier to text the person and ask, coz the phone conversation would be soooo short, and a major waste of minutes... but, then again, texting is just as costly....... .

[loljuliana]

probably cause they just wanna ask like 1 thing and doesnt think that a phone convo would be very interesting when there's only 1 thing they wanna say.

^i just confused myself

[juliar]

but sometimes, i also feel more comfortable IMing rather than calling. texting and IMing, i find, are pretty much the same.

[Eryi]

My friends are into Texting me than just calling me.

[EmmalieV]

I <3 texting , but i rather talk on the phone , just me.

[*mzkandi*]

Random texts are ok but I've rather person call me than having a convo through text messaging.

[aznxdreamer]

all the cool kids do it. sheesh.

[HoodieObsessed]

I'm nto sure about text messeging...but I hardly EVER phone anyone. Unless I want to talk to them right away.

I always send email/hope they're on msn. I hate phones. I loath phones. Phones are evil. evvvvviiiiiiiil.

but...text messeging is stupid, doesn't it cost you like 50cents everytime you send a test messege on your phone? That's acutally pretty expensive if you get alot of them

[arara]

Well you see, here's the thing: when a kid has no one to talk to, he or she naturally looks on his/her cell and textmessages people cause they, you know, wanna look like they're cool- like, they're not talking to anybody else because they're too busy talking to other people on their cell. Yeah. Horrible pronoun grammer there, but it's okay.

[lilliannnn]

I like texting people. Just quick things like "Hey Call me later" or like.. "We still on for tonight?" And it makes my day when my (boy)friend texts and says "I miss you" or "Ilu."

[angel-roh]

heh i know. those text messages are annoying. i rather get something important... not something like "just wanted to say hi" GAHHH!

[crazeegirl411]

I'm nto sure about text messeging...but I hardly EVER phone anyone. Unless I want to talk to them right away.

I always send email/hope they're on msn. I hate phones. I loath phones. Phones are evil. evvvvviiiiiiiil.

but...text messeging is stupid, doesn't it cost you like 50cents everytime you send a test messege on your phone?    That's acutally pretty expensive if you get alot of them

I used to think that...but that thought quickly vanished when I got a cell phone, and when I talked to a lot of people. =)

[xMayleex]

I text when I'm not bothered to phone someone.

[vehvih]

Back in Philippines .. texting is cheaper .. Here, people are lazy. I'm used to both of them.

[aforce65]

I agree, having long conversations using text messaging can get REALLY annoying, it can strain your eyes, but when you have a short simple sentence that is really important then it wouldnt be that bad. But I really dont like text messaging period. I'd rather chat online or just talk on the phone.

[rx_azngirl]

yea it's way easier to call, but i think some people are too shy to talk or don't feel like talking.

[lassipiktunn]

sure is

[iheartsimba]

Yeah sometimes it is weird...when they are pretty capable of dialing a number...but they spend a whole lot more time trying to type out something. I like to text at school and stuff...but outside, a call will do.

[nerdxcore]

i AGREE. what's the point?? it's not even a cell phone if that's all you use it for. just a mini computer. haha. and it's more expensive then just calling them. but yeah, at times it is convienent.

[short_stop08]

It's not really annoying because some people don't really feel like talking and people that just had surgery getting wisdom teeth can't talk to text messaging is really convenient. I just hate when people text me when I'm on the phone with them or when they're three feet away from me. Unless we're mad at each other then it depends. I like text messaging. Just don't text back or get it turned off.

[LiLEthiopian]

Yea..I find it quite annoying also. I'm not going to sit here wasting ten cents a message on a pointless convo.

Just call. I have free mobile to mobile.

[xlauren73x]

I like it. For simple things it's really good, like 'Can you hang out tonight?" or "What time do you get off work?". Things like that I use it for, never pointless things like "How Are You". Haha, sometimes I text during class though, I just started that at the end of last year when I was so bored with school. I think I'll be doing that a lot more.. hehe.

[err403]

i guess its people who wants to have someone to talk to but not a 'close conversation' who does texting... from my experience
my frd texts all the time.. with girls that is
so perhaps they dont want to be seen talking on the phone to them or else ppl would say they're dating
thats why they text (i think)

i like msn/aol/icq more =)

[ApocalypseAelis]

I hate texting on my phone. I changed the settings so now nobody can text me. Hahaha. I mean...it destroys the purpose of the cell phone. If you want to text me, text me on your friggin computer. See, phones are used to call people.

[SMUSHiENESS]

Yeah, it is annoying. My friends used to test message me alot kus she had that verison in thingy where you have like 50 free tests to other companys. Plus my bill for text messaging shot up the roof.

[hall0w]

lol i dont use text msging

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

i enjoy texting.. =)

[ThePrincessofTKD]

i think calling costs more than text messaging. especially when it`s not free hours or something like that. i`d just tell people to stop texting me.

[heyyfrankie]

awww. i know how you feel...well, kinda. my sister's friends always do that and i'm just like uh...why don't y'all ju st talk on the phone instead of spending $0.10 on each message? o_O.

[`SWTWiNKLE3YES]

i hate text messaging! when someone text messages i dont wanna answer it by texting them i call them lol im like why the hell are u texting me?!

[aeyungg xd]

i know what you mean, but i still like text messages. it is MUCH better to call though. it shows you care more. stupid texters that are too shy to call. i hate that.

[2 wordsTomFelton...]

yea thats true.... but i guess people think its cool to text other people.....

[ANG33ZY]

Yeah. I agree with you. I get them all the time.

[yourresidentpsyc...]

Text messaging. Good or bad?

I think its awesome, but alot of adults I know frown upon it, or find it pointless.

[*salcha4u*]

Uhhh. Expensive.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

yeah I spent a fortune texting in spring break

[*disco infiltrator*]

I spend a lot of money texting...but it's my mom's money, so it's up to her to get a plan thing. I think it's pointless when you can actually be on AIM or something; AIM is faster. But when you're out, it's a good way to communicate with people that are on AIM at home or can't talk or be loud.

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

i love to text people randomly.
especially because i have unlimited and i only pay $5 extra for it a month, opposed to the hundreds i would pay.

i think it's better than like talking on the phone. but that's 'cause i pay a lot in overages a month. and so when i run out of minutes, i text.

[*T0rmented_Soul*]

Yeap as everyone says, Texting is fun..But expensive, especially if your a person who likes to chat and text very fast..me It takes me forever to text 1 sentence.

[pedophile]

I like texting. Sometimes when you can't actually talk on the phone, you can text instead. Besides, it's a great way to tell someone something when you don't feel like calling them.

[yourresidentpsyc...]

I'm quick at texting. Pretty damn quick. And its unlimited. Thank you Revol. (www.revol.us)

My cell # is on my signature if anyone ever wants to text me. :)

Call if you wish, as well. I love getting random texts/calls at 2:30 A.M.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

I love texting.. I do it a lot. hahaha
like in school when I cant be on the phone.

[jue]

It takes too long. I'm not skilled at typing on the phone. I like to text people saying "AHAHAHAHA! YOU'RE 10 CENTS POORER!!"

[pedophile]

Hm, my number is 9084182866.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

It takes too long. I'm not skilled at typing on the phone. I like to text people saying "AHAHAHAHA! YOU'RE 10 CENTS POORER!!"

I used to do that too.
I get unlimited in and 300 out (a month) or something like that

[*Freaky Krazer*]

It takes too long. I'm not skilled at typing on the phone. I like to text people saying "AHAHAHAHA! YOU'RE 10 CENTS POORER!!"

doesn't that make you 10 cents poorer as well?

[yourresidentpsyc...]

my plan is unlimited in everything. minutes, long distance, texting, internet, etc. so...its they who are $.10 poorer.

[*mipadi*]

I use it at work, since I don't like to talk on the phone while I'm at the office, but that's about the only time I use it. Although it's handy if you're at a party and it's really, really loud.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

i don`t really text i just call . maybecause i know when to call them or not .and call them at the right time .

[ichigofan]

Personally i love texting. its a easier way to getting information out without having to call them because you dont know if their gonna pick up or not, but they will always be able to read the text!

[yourresidentpsyc...]

Point is...I love texting. :) And myspace.

[anfgirlco]

I love texting haha

[jue]

doesn't that make you 10 cents poorer as well?

Yeah, but its fun But I don't like it when they keep msging back going "youre 20 cents poorer" You're 30cents" poorer. It's only fun when I do it

[*This Confession*]

haha, text messaging annoys me. Its so time consuming than just calling the person and talking to them. Pressing all the keys and crap gets nerve racking.

So my dad just got it so we can't recieve them in our plan, which was just fine by me.

[smoke]

Man, I text all the time in school but I don't have it anymore. I used to have unlimited.

[*JanetteRonaldo*]

i prefer text messaging than calling. im not much of a phone person in general, and yet i need one. anyways texting, for me is best.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

Yeah, but its fun But I don't like it when they keep msging back going "youre 20 cents poorer" You're 30cents" poorer. It's only fun when I do it

haha yeah sounds fun...





and a waste of a dime =x

[nyctophiliac]

I never understood why everyone liked text messaging so much...until I got it on my phone...unlimited. I dunno why I like it, but it's fun ^_^
