What kind of crack is that???

I wasn't exposed to computers either and figured those out. I'd miss the computer if I didn't have it.

I don't care to text, takes too long, and the people I communicate most with, communicate by phone or email.

 

^ cmon it takes to long to text? by the time you boot up a computer log onto your email account and type a message and hit send

you could exchange 20 text messages easy with someone.

Text is FAST thats the big attraction to it. Ill show you saturday how fast it really is.

 

I have a cell PHONE and I use it for PHONE calls.

 

I pay $100 a month for for 800 anytime mins with roll over, unlimited text, unlimited data,GPS,and free nights and weekends that start at 7pm during week hours.

This is on a blackberry BOLD with way too many apps =0)

 

I have a smart phone and i use it for all sorts of activities, applications, voice connect, text, internet, email etc.

 

No need. I'm aware of the technology that is out there. I've sent/received text messages, but right now, it's not part of what I need to do to stay in touch with those I care about, or need to communicate with.

Most of my communication is done via email from home or work, or by phone. Works for me.

I don't need the instant gratification from text messages being sent or received. I don't want to be that connected. Nothing irks me more than seeing people out to dinner and someone at the table is too busy talking on his/her cell or texting some other person to even converse with those he/she is out with.

 

^ ya i hear ya. Phone snobs can be rude thats for sure.

 

That's definitely true, but you only need to do it once... when someone gives you their phone number, ask them their carrier at the same time. And if it's an iPhone, you already know. Then, all you need to do is enter their "text email" as an email address in the Phone Book, and you're good to go. Just click the email instead of the phone # when you wanna text 'em.

For me on the BlackBerry (8800 I've had over 2 yrs now) sending an email is just as easy as sending a TXT. It even looks the same, incoming and outgoing.

Really, the only people that should TXT are people who cannot get email on their cell phones, or people with carriers that include unlimited TXTing with their unlimited data plan.

Really, the only reason all the major carriers doubled their TXT rates is because everyone finds it convenient enough to just deal with it.

The simple fact is, a text message costs the company nothing. Absolutely nothing. It doesn't even take up the voice or data stream bandwidth because they ride in the carrier signal, and by design are meant to be cheap.

Paying for a text message is like the land-line phone company charging you for the dial tone when you pick up the phone.

 

I guess some of us really dont care about the $20 as much as others

 

ME TOO AND P0RN!!!
