50 texts a day?

July 19th 2009 22:51
SMS
I was gobsmacked to learn that it was not uncommon for not one but two daughters to send at least 50 text messages day!

Now occassionally I might put thumb to phone for perhaps a half dozen - but 50-plus!

Perhaps I'm out of touch - but wouldn't a simple phone call quite possibly do the same job?

Or perhaps I'm just not atuned to the way we communicate these days.

Gobsmacked???? Don't explain!

I hate to break it to you Mr. Nice Dude, but a little 12 year old sending over 4000 texts a month is chump change!

Sometimes they text each other while sitting on the same couch. You see, youngsters think everything is FREE!

Hey Signals

Ouch!

4000 a month!

That's outrageous . . . 130-plus a day - where do they find the time to do anything else?

i used to sms all the time when call rates were astronomical and there were no such thing as cap plans

now i mostly only text if my battery is low, or im somewhere i cant speak or hear, or as a courtesy if i phone someone and they dont answer, i like to text the reason i was calling because i know some people dont like to pay to retrieve voicemails

i probably only send 20-50 per week, id usually rather speak to people

Mr. Nice Guy, it seems that we should hold some competition, which sounds like, "The fast and furious text messager in the world" and the winner would accept: Unlimited SMS txt service for his/her whole life!
