Texting is handy for trying to get information back and forth around other things you have to do. You know, like driving or sitting in lecture at school, that sort of thing.

Texting is a way to obtain information from someone without the annoyance of physically talking to them.

Texting is how those of you with QWERTY keyboards on your phone annoy those of us who don't.

I had a qwerty briefly. I'm actually faster with 10key.

It takes my clumsy fingers 20 minutes to text what I can say in 5 seconds, so I just stick to using the phone for talking. When people text me and I can't answer in 5 words or less, I just call them.

You send/receive over 10,000 texts a month? That's 333 per day.

And why do you pay for 1000 minutes if you only use 100? Your carrier doesn't allow you to purchase the unlimited text plan by itself?

I guess I just don't have any interest in perpetually sharing the mundane happenings of my life with others 140 characters at a time.

(I do it via vBulletin, with much longer posts.)

I think we may have stubled on a generational gap indicator. Use 0 text messages per month, you're over 50; use 1-100, you're over 25; use over 100, you're under 25.

I wouldn't be surprised if the exceptions to that rule number under 2% of cell phone users.
