text messaging
I keep a close eye on my cell phone bills because there've been a lot of changes to it recently. I want to be sure billing is right.
Today I checked my usage online for the heck of it.
Invoice period: January 03, 2008 - February 02, 2008 (meaning it started six days ago)
I have used a total of 590 text messages already. I think I'm frightened by this. I'm glad I have unlimited! Anybody else do this?

1500 text messages a month??
Holy crap. That'* nuts. I'm not a texter. Hate the stuff. The thought of having to press the "7" key four times for an "*" is ridculous to me. I'd rather call the person.
I've actually had texting dsabled on our plan because we were getting a lot of spam texts. It was costing $.15 per text to even receive them. Heck with that.

Unlimited texting costs about $15 per month compared with phone calls at .25 per min.......1500 calls at 1 min long = $375. And who talks for a minute.
My phone has the entire alphabet on it so no pressing the numbers multi times.

T9 is a predictive text format on most cell phones. I can type on my phone almost as fast as a keyboard. You only have to hit the number once

i prefer txting also. If the person is not available i usally txt them and it would be like a mobile e-mail to check whenever they want from the main screen instead of going through voicemail and passwords and such. Im also in high school so it is a must to talk with people during school as well.
