I have ten days before my prepaid cell phone plan starts again and only 58 texts messages left from my 1000 text bundle!!!!
EEEKKK!!!!
Has this happen to you?
My minutes are more than ok my texts messages always seem to run low, should I get unlimited for 5 bucks more (that will be 35 something dollars per month) or should I keep same plan and control myself somehow?
I can send free texts with my account from the cell web site but I am not close to computer all the time, so what to do now?

I take it that you don't use your phone for "talking" too much so I think it would be better idea to invest in text messaging portion. I understand it's "only" $5 more but it would relieve you of worrying our constantly checking & counting your messages.

You are right, 5 bucks is ok for peace of mind.
I can check my balance on my cell phone but I can be obsessive-compulsive and the days that I talk too many times I will end up checking my minute balance too many times and only the first 5 times are free, on text messages I have to send a text from my cell (so that ends up being minus one text there)mI can check both balances from the web site for free.
Right now I have left:
44 text messages 26 anytime minutes and 129 night and weekends minutes.
And ten days to go.

Well I guess you need to somehow control yourself from sending text message. Nothing like that had ever happened to em though, here prepaid credits are on little denomination (lowest is half a dollar) and we actually don't have free texts (which is quite expensive) but they do have promos like 40 cents or less for one day unlimited texting, and so on, as for me, I don't use text messaging that much, I cal when I need to (it is somewhat cheaper)

I do not think I know of anyone who gets free texting, they are pay something, even if it is a reduced fee for them.
But 40 cents is kinda cheap for the whole day.
And I think that you are right, I should have self control and well I am lacking in that, I am thinking what to do as I have a teenager who does text me often.
In here it is cheaper to text than to call.
