I think it is very helpful. There are often times when I have to get a message to someone but they cannot accept phone calls or they are in an area where regular cell calls cannot get thorugh but texts will. After hurricane katrina hit, you could not get a regualr cell call to anyone in the affected area codes, but you could get text messages through all day and night. Helpe alot of people keep in touch in an emergency time.

Sending text message is helpful for sender and receiver. There is nothing harmful about. When it is unsolicited message, then it may be slightly irritable but not harmful.

its both helpful and harmful. i think it'll detrmine on how u use ur celphone. It's helpful because its the easiest (if not the cheapest) way of sending ur message in the air. . its also the fastest (assuming there's no network problem)! its harmful because most people spend their time texting ang texting rather than spending time with God and Family. I think there's a harmful wave (i forgot the technical term) everytime we received calls, that could cause cancer and/or the like. Let's limit our use of cellular phone.God bless.
