I text someone whenever I have a quick question and don't need a reply right away. Especially if I know they might be busy. Or especially if it's instructions or information they need. That way, they have it without having to take the time to write it down (and people are more likely to lose slips of paper than they are their phones). I hate it when someone tries to have a long, drawn out conversation via text. I usually end up calling them.

Same here. I use predictive text.

Im using it right now, actually.

There are times I put cant, wont, or dont just because I'm too lazy to press the Fn key...lol. People know what I mean.

I like texting for when I run to the store for someone. I just have them text me what they want.

i have three girls on a family plan with ONLY 700 minutes and unlimited txting...they have NEVER gone over the minutes...it's ALL txt...ugh

My son talks to his friends a lot. I have him on Boost. All unlimited. $50/mo.

phone with a full keyboard is a godsend..

whatever, texting is the best invention EVER. I absolutely hate talking on the phone.

They're saving you money on not going over their minutes or having to go to a higher priced plan, and you're bitching?

you don't have kids...txt me when you have experience ;)

This.
No how's Betty and the kids...and aunt Emma.....because if you don't say that stuff some people think you're rude.

I am to the point where I believe text first is proper protocol and call if I have to.

Best ever? Really?

YUP

Wouldn't be in my top 10.

sliced bread is a close 2nd.
