well in England people are nuts, they text more than talk (@least thats what my cousin told me and when I was there, every one was just texting). They even had a contest to see who can text the faster.

I have a 1000 min plan, and last month I went over.

I cant stand text messaging on my phone, the buttons are too small.

I had a good month last month..did a little under 4500 text messages and about 600 minutes. A lot of my contacts use text messaging. Much easier and faster to communicate especially when we're all in meetings and stuff.

i text a lot, but I talk a lot.


That said, I don't know how much of either, somehow I've convinced my mom to still pay my cell phone charges so she gets the bill

i think it's because the cost of sending a text message is cheaper than talk time. in asia, that's the way it is too.

0 messages, 1300 mins tops.

Why text messages; telco companies make way too much money allowing as sending some bytes. I disabled it. People who want to send me messages can use my email. If they really need to talk to me, they call.
