    Re: Texting/Calling

    I have my phone constantly. However, I text more than talk, although I do like to chat with people I like. Nothing wrong with talking to people on the phone. Nothing wrong with texting.

    I wouldn't quit a job over having my phone, not in this economy.. but hey, not my job. My boss doesn't care, as long as I don't take time from working to be on the phone.

    I have a Blackberry and use the internet a lot, as well as text my wife and some friends.

    Between that and work....

    Re: Texting/Calling

    My business is ran off my phone and many customers call and many Text me. I have an unlimited plan due to this. Reaching over 5000 texts a month and about 3000 mins would kill me if not on unlimited.

    I do text at times to catch up with old friends but other than that no time really with the snakes and computer repairs.

    Re: Texting/Calling

    We all have phones here...hubby, my 9 yr old, my mom (as she lives w us) and myself.

    3 of us only use it pretty much to call each other and when we are apart...I have it all the time to make sure everyone is safe. My son on the other hand..oye. We got it for him since sometimes he has to go with his bio dad and there was abuse issues previously. Now he doesnt use it to text or call but for games, music and movies. My husband got him a phone that can do everything and it is ridiculous. The child has so many current movies on that phone and thinks my husband is the coolest thing ever...lol (clearly one of the reasons he got that one for him...lol)

    I have friends that call all the time though and apparently have all the time in the world to talk....its really annoying. Love them but spending an hour on the phone..not my thing.

    Re: Texting/Calling

    I don't call or text much, the one person I talk to for long periods of time would happen to be my boyfriend since I can't see him very often. But if I am sitting alone in public and I get nervous I will text someone or pretend to xD

    Re: Texting/Calling

    I don't text, but I usually have at least one conversation on my cell every day.

    My cell is also my only phone line, no landline for me.

    I also live far away from family so usually when I keep in touch, I do it with phone calls rather than snail mail or email.

    Re: Texting/Calling

    while i was getting over the EX phase, i only had my phone to check the time. i would forget it at home and realize it when i start getting hungry and waiting for lunch time to start.

    then i started txting a LOT. most of the ppl i talk to tend to have funky plans that dont allow me to call them whenever hahaha!

    anywhoozle =D. now i txt a lot. where i work, as long as the manager doesnt see u, and he rarely does, i can have my phone out and text inbetween songs.

    on the weekends i just txt to find out if that person can come over and hang for the day. when she leaves, i just get on COD:MW:2 =]. then call at night to say gnite.

    Re: Texting/Calling

    I rarely text. Maybe once or twice a month, if that. I don't like the world having 24 hour access to me so my phone stays shutoff for most of the day. That is why I have voice mail. I will turn my phone on 2-3 times a day to check for messages and return calls. I would say that at least 50% of the time I just leave it at home...

    P.S. I can say that as a motorcylist, I can't even begin to count the number of times that I have almost been hit or ran off on to the shoulder by drivers texting and talking on the phone while driving. That should be illegal...
