text sex messages
- My wife upgraded her cell a couple yrs ago & I got the hand me down which was all good. Until I started exploring the cell. The texts I found would of made a sailor blush. But, hey there was nothing going on (she said so). Needless to say there was quite a yellin match over that. I canceled my cell in the parking lot, said she could cancel it AT&T's way or my way. She still has a cell phone, even more secetive & w/a full keyboard. So I figure it's happening again, but since I can't even find the phone I dont know for sure. I HATE CELL PHONES, TEXTS & ALL THE CHEATING DOGS WHO USE THEM.

Absolutely deplore all text messages
- Hate it. Don't use it. Can't stand messing with it. Think it is a crime that the impetous to stop unsolicited text messages is upon me! Should be a crime to charge someone for something they didn't ask for, nor want. People need to get off their phones and get a life.

Echo of 18 yr. old Tony
- Tony is 18. I'm 50 yrs. old. I am texting daily. It's quick, convienient, fun, spontaneous, somewhat practical, and hip. But as Tony said, and as I have found out, it does not replace face to face conversation. Text can be a vague playland of misinterpetation and choice of words is important. In fact, it nearly destroyed a friendship for me. If you want to have fun use text. If your going to be real serious, don't use text. TIP: If you want your text to be understood a certain way, preface your statement. Like this: (seriously) (joking) (sarcastic) (honest) Also, I've found that many short texts are better than long ones. When text pages become too long, I request a phone call or face to face meeting. Good Luck!

It's worked for my family
- When I gave my twelve yr old a cell, he didn't have it for 2 weeeks wacked up a 2,000 messages, thank goodness I had unlimited. He told me , he's rather text than talk. His minutes were much lower. My kids know better than to go over minutes so far this cell phone texting is great for my family. We all have enjoyed texting better than talking that's the way it is now texting unlimited!

Why you just can’t live without texting
- Im doing a paper for my socialogy class about today society. I was looking for information on anything that can help me. Then i found this website. I must say after reading all the comments, I only text 20 text messages per month. The reason why? I work, I go to college, spend time with family and friends, play hockey, run, workout, and etc. Im 18 years old and I can't believe how some people are taking texting so seriously. What I mean by that is when a girl texts me "I love you" or something like that, i just wouldn't take it seriously until the girl told me "I love you" in person. My point is nothing can take away telling someone the way you feel in person because not only you hear from the person, but you can look through their eyes and see that they mean it. This one point I would like to share the reason why texting has went too far, and their many other reasons too. Don't get me wrong, I still think texting great to keep in touch with friends and family, but it's gone too far

I use to think it was stupid
- When I use to see people texting people I couldnt understand why they were not just talking on the phone. After I have gotten into it and have a phone with a qwerty keyboard I can understand why. It is because if I talk to someone on the phone I feel obligated to carry on a conversation for more that a few words but with texting I can make it short and to-the-point. Texting may be the modern day equivalent to the postcards our grandparents use to mail out.

Is it possible?
- I mean, my phone bill came home from verizon wireless, and is it possible to go over your unlimited texting plan of 5000 plus free texting from verizon to verizon?. I mean you cant be sleeping if you text over 5000 right? but I somehow did, but I felt like i havent even texted THAT Much. and so now they charged me for over texting 3000. which I dont understand how. Is there a way that the company can be wrong?

I'm in the texting boat
- I send SMS messages a lot more than I make phone calls. My boyfriend and I share a family plan, and since minutes are more costly than an unlimited texting plan, we ended up with a 700 minute plan and unlimited text messaging. I've always found talking on the phone awkward (since I do have social anxiety disorder) and I feel that text messaging makes it easier on me to communicate with others. I'll only make calls during an emergency or when I have to explain something that would take too long to type out with my thumbs. One of my pet peeves is the way texting can negatively affect grammar and spelling. I don't like people who use 2 for "to, too" and say "skool" or "cuz". I'm from the south (Texas) and I'm 19, but I think it's important to be able to communicate in a coherent manner. I don't want to be thought of as a dumb hick or a dumb teen.

probably too much
- I use texting so much! Its a good thing i have unlimited cuz i go over 5000 every month. Sometimes i have to call my friends if i need to explain something cuz my thumbs get sore! :)I found this sight cuz i was wondering what the diff was tween sms and normal texting. Texting is so helpful and helps me stay in contact with my friends. However, in school i have accidentally spelled words with numbers (such as to with 2 or four with 4) and spell them with missing letters (school=skool, getting=gettin) the biggest mistake o most common mistake for me is instead of because writing cuz. Im southern so its how we say it anyway. My classes at school are all advanced so my teachers are very strict and don't like the way students are slacking because of texting. All in all texting is amazing and i use it alot but too much texting isn't good for your spelling habbits... :)

Don't understand the fascination
- I don't get these people who say "talking on the phone is a waste of time so texting is better". I can certainly speak faster than I can type. One of my nephews explained to me that he can send text messages without using his minutes, and I can understand that. I recently attended a wedding where a 20-something young lady at our table had her face focused on her phone the entire time. Maybe playing games, but I eimagine she was texting with someone. She was completely oblivious to anything going on around her, unless her friend (the bride) happened to come over & speak to her. My impression was that she traveled a long way to attend this wedding, but in reality she was not really a part of it. I don't see how this is good.
