    Am I the last person in the world who isn't into texting? What happened to just calling people?

    I text more than I talk. I use phone texts, Blackberry messenger and Yahoo! Messenger. I have built up a ton of roll over minutes because of it.

    If it's a short message, I text. Something long or urgent to say, I call.

    I like to text more if it's not a pressing/complicated matter. I hate talking on the phone unless it's really necessary...never have liked just having casual conversations over the phone unless it's someone I don't talk to often and want to catch up.

    I hate playing phone tag. Send a text, they reply when they're free.

    If I want to have a conversation, I call. If it's just a quick thing, I text.

    I was the same way about 6 months ago. Now I just prefer a quick text, and of course, your mother.

    I like to text. I can just ask my question and be done with it and not have to possibly have a long conversation that you could have avoided by just texting.

    I have 300 whenever minutes and I only use 20 min on average per month.

    You're just lazy and a bum who can't text fast, so you're hatin' on the texters.

    THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING!

    Texting good when: sitting on a bench, not doing something important, standing up.
    Texting not good when: Driving, listening to someone talk, pushing no_answer's mom on the swing

    ... it's so WARM... the feeling... of relief... not worried about a leather chair... aaand... *aaaahhhh*... and I'm done. :eek:

    Where is juicystream when you need him? :confused:

    If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis

    If it's good enough for Miles Davis, it's good enough for me.

    The first thing I did when I switched from my Motorola to a PrimeCo phone was get unlimited texting.

    I started a thread about this in another forum. I proposed that phones have an option (or app) where you put the preference next to a phone contact of "Text-Only" or "Okay to Call". I have a group of peers where I dont know what the HELL is the best way to get through to any of them.

    The absolute worst is when YOU yourself only have a limited text plan. And dip****s want to you 5 different texts to say 1 message in difference pieces, making the overage charges add up:

    "Oh alright"
    "That sounds fine"
    "I'll see you then"
    "Cool?"
    "Let me know"

    rrrrrrrrrrgh :mad:

    I am the most non-talkative person ever. I only average like 20 live spoken words a day. Most of them used during saying my fast food order. And this text based communication even gets on my nerves.

    I'm on the phone at least 1.5 hours a day talking to old friends back home and people from my past. At work, I'm on the phone maybe another 2 hours. But I do enjoy the impersonality of the text. How else can I ask a girl, if I can tap that. I do on the phone sometimes, but the silence is awkward.

    I do like to order my pizza online though.
