| How many texts do you go through in a month? |

Quoted:
In before a bunch of people say technology is lame and they own a flip phone from 2001 and don't bother with that childish crap but still have 20K posts here  I have a lot more than 20K post, and I've never owned anything as fancy as even a flip phone. I'm still on my second cell phone, and my cell phone is OFF 99% of the time. |

I receive maybe a dozen texts or so in an average month, mostly automated messages (online payment notices, free RedBox rental, etc.). If I send/receive a half-dozen actual human-to-human texts in a month, it was a busy one for me.  If my wife gets into the habit when she picks out a new phone (she's been dragging her feet on that), I'm sure that it will increase significantly then. Even more so when the kids are old enough to have phones, but we're still a good way off from that for now. |

I kinda fall into a split so I went with the lower option. Mine can vary from 100-250 a month depending on work conditions. Many times I find myself or my workers in areas where voice is sketchy due to location or terrain and text's save the day in that situation. Only takes a split second of signal to get messages in and out. Also when communicating numbers like coordinates I prefer texts so I can proof them before sending or proof them while dialing them in on location. Aside from work I don't text much although it does seem that I am doing it increasingly more than I used to. I have been doing email via phone for years so I believe that has somewhat kept my need to text and talk for that matter lower as well. I jumped on the Blackberry thing pretty early and now rely on a Droid as primary communications. I have also been able to lower the amount of minutes needed on my company plan by adding the 250TXT package to most of my phones in the field. People would rather text than talk and 250 a month saves me money when I can move to a plan with less minutes. |

I think I had over 1500 last month. I would rather text than talk. Especially if it's just a quick question. Same. I think my highest ever was 3,400 texts in a month. I think that was also one of those months I was unemployed so I had nothing better to do when I was in between stopping at places asking about jobs. lol |
| I said 200 to 500 but I really don't know. Quite a few. I'm on call with a company phone 24/7 so I love texting. I'd rather not have a phone at all of course but since I have to carry one, texting is far more convenient than have to answer the phone every 10 minutes. |

I voted 201-500. Thats probably somewhat accurate now. There were many months I probably text over 2k. That was when there was a cute girl on the other end. Right now, with no such distraction, i don't really know what it is. I got the unlimited plan, so i don't bother looking. |
