Text messages.

Who else hasn't really caught on to the whole text messaging craze?

I've had a cell phone for 7 years now and I think I've sent a total of 5 text messages.

1. I've sent ZERO.

I only use my cell phone for emergency calls and playing Poker/Scrabble Blast.

2. I hate it

I tried calling my son 3 times last night. He was at a friends house. He couldn't answer his phone, but he could text?

Just pick up your damned phone!!!!

3. I text my kids all the time

especially when they're at their dad's house.

4. I like the concept, but hate having to create them

unless I have a QWERTY keyboard, I don't want to be crafting messages

9. My phone died and I ended up getting a Blackjack II with a QWERTY keyboard.

I like it a lot. I still don't text a ton but it's much easier when I do. I like it more for writing notes, calendar entries and contacts.

5. I have sent only one, that was to try it out. Too much of a hassle.

6. Phones are for making phone calls.

Not for taking pictures, playing music, or sending text messages.

Phones makes a noise at least somewhat reminiscent of RINGING (not play dumbass annoying ringtones).

Text messages are a PITA.

7. I have sent exactly one text message in my life

[LaraMN]

8. The only text messages I have ever gotten have been from wrong numbers.

Which is really too bad, because one was rather sweet.

:P

10. I didn't used to

Phone plan didn't include them. But the new plan does, so I will be texting more often.

11. Don't send 'em, don't read 'em

If you want me to read something send me an email

[LynneSin]

12. Text messaging is handy when you're at a rock concert or amusement park

or some other really loud place.

Other than that - just talk on the damn phone or put it away!

13. I use texting a lot....

It's great for when you just need to let somebody know a piece of info without actually having to call. Such as, when you're organizing a meeting of friends for dinner- rather than calling them all, just send one text to them all: "7 @ Olive Garden?" Much better than a bunch of calls, IMHO.

14. I pay specifically for text messages because sometimes, it's a lot more convenient.

Plus, if you can't call someone (like you're at work or something), you can at least covertly text them and as long as you're careful, there wouldn't be any repercussions.

15. I texted a lot when texting was new and novel

Probably haven't sent more than 4 or 5 texts since 2002.

Maybe it's that whole teeny-bopper texting culture that puts me off...

[Iggo]

16. I text a few times a day.

Probably a little more on the weekends.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. got you beat. Have not sent one text message and doubt that I

ever will. Don't have the desire or see the need.
