montster Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 We have a 500-per-month limit on text messages on the phone plan my wife and I are on together. My wife never sends texts. This is the third month in a row I have exceeded our texting limit, so my wife changed our plan to the 5,000-per-month text limit for $10 more. She said I'm a "tool." At least she didn't take my phone away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Like Soup Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Just an FYI, a recent study showed that people engaged in sexting have far higher levels of text messages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylive5 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 My 13 yr old daughter had 8500 texts in Oct & 7200 texts last month. That's averaging 275 a day in Oct and 240 a day in Nov. A net loss of 35 a day one month to the next. Did you take here phone away for a day or so? My bill last month: Minutes: 0 Texts: 0 It has read that way each month for a couple of years.

Hope you got it, unless of course you've changed your number and didn't tell me, but then I can take the hint. I got it. I get your text messages but I have never sent a text. Not even sure how to text. I am sure that you have thought I was just ignoring you all these years. LOL I don't get charged for recvd text msgs.

rajncajn Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I text a lot more now that I have my BB, but not anywhere even remotely close to any of you. And if i found out my kid was texting that much then they would no longer have a phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to believe that my daughter can text this much, still get good grades & be on the 8th grade cheerleader team. She knows that if her grades drop, she loses the phone.
