How often do you text message?

I clock >500 lines/day in Google chat with partners for our engineering senior project... one conversation was >400 lines alone.
 
I use them all of the time. My job is such that it helps me stay in touch with my clients and it also allows my friends to contact me during the day without my phone ringing.
 
She types a little over two characters per second which I don't even think is possible on my phone because there seems to be a one second pause after I type a character for it to go on to the next one
 
lol i sent 3000-5000 txt a month and i can txt without looking and without using t9 however i would have lost cuz i can't even spell that
 
So, how much does a text message cost to send? How many bytes does it take to send a typical text message? I'd imagine that the cost per byte for a text message is a few orders of magnitude greater than that required for voice data. That's got to spell pure profit for the cellphone companies - none of this BS of providing video streams to cellphones. The people want to send snippets of abbreviated text!!!! 😕


<---- never sent a text message.
I do own a cellphone, but I use it so infrequently, I don't even know its phone number.

most phones seem to transition from one charecter to the next instantly. The only problem is if you want to type something like ABC. then you would have to hit 1, then wait, hit 11 then wait, then hit 111.

Unless it's on predictive text.....

she must have figured out how much predictive text to use for supercalifragilisticwhatnot and then practiced that pattern to get the timing down right.

If you are typing say an "a" and you want to hit "b" you can hit the right over arrow key and you can do it instantly instead of waiting
