Actually, I don't have a cell phone - too much of a ripoff.

Mine was free, and I pay $20 a month to join my mom's family plan. She wins, because she doesn't lose any minutes and it only costs her $10 a month to add the phone. I win, because it's incredibly cheap and I never come close to using my 400 minutes. The wife pays her mom $10 a month as well. So $30 a month for 2 cell phones, and we have no home line.

I don't own a cell phone or a pager. I just hang around everyone I know, all the time. If someone needs to get ahold of me they just say, "KT," and I say, "what" and turn my head slightly...

This. Phones are for talking, keyboards on computers are for typing.

Bulls eye.

my phone has a keyboard...

the enV limits you to 50 unlocked text messages in the inbox, so i always have less than 60. i just deleted them this morning. i also have a teenage girl, she texts me all the time. her inbox is rarely above 50 as well.

Mine threads so I have 27 different conversations stored although it tells me I have 582 sent.

On my old phone I had well over 2000 inbox before I started deleting.

I do about 3-5k a month in text messages.

I am also not a teenage girl.

EDIT:

My bill cycled yesterday and I have used 128 text so far.

I used 4294 text last month.
200 minutes
1154 mobile to mobile
125 n&w
And almost 36mb internet data for those that care.

Anybody know how to count the number of SMS messages stored on an iPhone? It has to be in the thousands by now, but I have no way of counting them all easily.

So because someone has a reason to text more often, they are a teenage girl?

This reminds me of what some people thought about the use of cell phones. If I'm not at home they don't need to reach me, they can leave a message. This and that.

Some people have a use for things, and some people don't.

If kids accidentally step onto your yard while texting do you tell them to get off?

Nah, I just wave my cane in a menacing manner from my rocking chair. I can't yell without my teeth in.
