philippines is one of the most several texters of cellphones, i think almost all of the people here, young or old, poor or rich, have cellphone of their own, its the daily life routine. its as if one cannot complete the day without bringing his celphone, i too is a frequent texter, this is very important for me.. how about you?

I used to be a text addict that I always subscribe to unlimited texting. I own 3 cellphones of different networks. I always forward quotes and nice messages but later on I stop doing it since I had a business which made me very busy.

Well, I used to.. I used to be a text addict before(during high school and college years).. I used to forward sweet quotes, funny jokes to my friends.. but since i have been very busy with more important things, i don't use my mobile phone to text that much.. i would rather make myself more productive than do unimportant or not so important things..

I'm from the Philippines and i do text around. Something around 200 i think. I just want to get my money's worth because i guess you are aware of our load getting eaten by the network provider for unknown reasons. So it's my way of getting back at them. I even think that texting should be free! Now i think they're planning to put tax on texting which is bad news for us frequent texters. Well i do hope it wont push through, at least not this time.

I didn't become such a frequent texter as I am today until I came to college. It was at that point it was just so much easier to text everyone because of the arrary of schedules and you could get away with it in some of your larger classes. I have slowed down due to the fact I've changed boyfriends since then and this on doesn't have unlimited but I use to be able to do way over 1000 texts a month with ease. Now its probably dropped to somewhere just below that line

Nope! Have a life outside of cellphones and prefer to talk to people in person when at all possible. Otherwise, I call or write to them through normal channels. Texting is a major cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. Had it; don't want it again.

I use my mobile all the time. It's a lot like my own landline, almost. Thank goodness that Sun Cellular's got low rates, or else I would have thrown my mobile oh-so-long ago.

I used to be a frequent texter but now since I started being busy, it's impossible for me to text anymore. I still text but not everyday as I used to be.

No, I don't text a lot by cellphone. I have to watch my pennies these days and I can't afford to run up my minutes with my cellphone.

I'm just only text in my cellphone if there is only very important messages either long or short message as long as I can rply for their. I'm not a type of person is always text with anybody if it is not very important for me. But of course im just always to bring my cellphone in my pocket or bag.

In China, people also text a lot. When I was still an undergrad in china, I usually have a sms service package, which is kinda cheap, so I sent text to my friends instead of calling them. But in US, i don't buy the sms plan, so I stop using text now.

In the past, I used to text a lot. It is cheaper than chatting on the phone. Now, I do not text as much because texting is taxing on the battery life. I need to charge it frequently and that waste electricity.

I text all day everyday. Is better for me than phone calls. I have basemnet apt and phone calls are very difficult. Voices breakup. Even voice messages are broken. Texting while iam at home is the only way i can communate. Beside the internet. Instant messageing. Many times im playing sims2 so i can not be online while i am playing game. Texting is best for me.

I text as needed. Sometimes it is more economical and convenient than calling for a conversation. Some people do not know how to keep the conversation short so sending a text can save you time and money.

Before, I am a frequent texter with my online friends. But I find them annoying now. I just text my Angel now. No more group messages.

cellphone here in the philippines is so important though gaining that kinda gadget is so expensive still people are really so eager to purchase it. bcoz its important specially if you want to connect with your love ones who are far and just by texting, happiness you could have. and its not that expensive anyways..
