Do you use text messaging more than calling now? Have you ever gotten a big bill from text messaging? I have noticed my hubby and I rarely call and usually just text message. I havent gotten the bill from this months text messaging, but I know it's going to be bad! What about you?

I get 100 free text messages as part of my plan. I text message some but not a lot so I have never gotten over that 100 limit. However, I only get like 500 anytime minutes and since I use my cell phone as my primary phone I always go over my minutes and my bill is huge! I guess it's about time to change my plan!

We have a family plan, so we can call each other free, and its like $60 a month for the two plans, and 750 anytime minutes. But yeah, I would actually like to drop my regular phone and just use cells, but I havent actually done that yet. That would actually save me $50 a month!

I do not like to text message people, I prefer to have phone calls because I would like to hear the voice of the person I am calling to, the words are cold but the voice is warm, you will also misunderstand people in using text message. Moreover, I can have free calls to mt friends in the same mobile network,I do not have to pay anything for a phone call less than ten minutes, but I will have to pay 2 cents for a text message.

I prefer to call up the person to talk rather than texting. I find texting very time consuming. I think I can finish saying what I want to tell the person faster than texting what I want to say.

I was fond before of text messaging. Especially when the unlimited text messaging promo started here. But as time goes by, I have found myself lost for words. And sometimes annoyed with the same things we talk about over and over. So I think not that much now. Especially that I'm trying to save on money. And my friends don't text too much nowadays. Only when something is important. Have a nice day! (^^,)

i text a lot but only to limited people like my close friend and to my sister. we text like hours and hours of texting. sometimes sending messages that only has 'haha or hehe' on it. =) my parents use to call me so we don't text that much. i don't like texting to other friends on my phonebook unless it's serious business.

I use text msg more than call. In my country text msg is cheaper than calling, so so far I still can control my cell phone budget, because of the text msg. If my bill are full of text msg charge, that's right I'm using it, but if I use calling, maybe the bill will bigger than usually.

We text alot, but we have unlimited texting just for that reason. Plus, I have a teenager, and it's best that she text a million times than run up daytime minutes. So, our text messaging bill never changes. What carrier do you use? Trust me, if we didn't have unlimited text, our bill would be outlandish.

I know exactly what you mean! I text like a maniac LOL. I got my bill, and last month i sent over 3500 text messages. For my partner and myself it is the best way for us to stay in contact throughout the day because we both work during the day. I would call if I could, but technology has made it so easy for us to keep in touch I love it. Luckily I have T-mobile, and have an plan that allows me to text as much as I want and there is no charge. For the times that we do actually get to talk, we have unlimited mobile to mobile as well. This has really helped us to stay in touch throughout the day.

I do send text messages a lot. Sometimes it's more convenient especially if you're in class or in a meeting and you really need to answer the call but you can't, you can just send a message instead. But of course, there are situations and circumstances where you really should just call instead of text messaging. It would be more formal, personal and intimate.

I send txt messages alot to people, lov ones and family members. I love to txt especially when I dont have a lot of money in my account, I just send txt messages. It's very encouraging to send txt messages. At times when someone was down and u hadn't any money to call, u just send txt mess, the person is revived back to live. It is another form of healing someone.

As the techonlogy development,the mail is used little by little,people usually communicate with phone.But I prefer message.For it's more polite,gentle and classical.
