If I registered to Unlimited texting promo, I could send at least 1000 text messages everyday. I usually forward a lot of jokes to my phone contacts. I also received at least 200 text daily from my friends.
Are you a text addict?
If you send at least 300 text daily just by having a normal or unimportant conversation, then I guess you are a certified text addict.

I could not exactly say since it depends on the situation. But on the average, I think I send around 20-30 messages on weekdays and just around 10 during weekend. As you can see, when there are important matters to discuss, I usually call instead of send a message. I get the message faster and clear.

Call is better than a text. But here in my place, text is a lot cheaper. For only 2o pesos or half a dollar, you can send unlimited text messages within 24 hours.

Do you have a lot of textmates? I mean do you always exchange texts with your girl friends? like telling the latest news or chikka ? lol..
To make use of my unlimited texting, I often forward jokes.

When I was in my university,I sent lots of messages, for kinds of reasons. I almost become a text addict.however, after my graduating, i spent little time on sending messages. I thought giving a call is more useful.

what made you change? Are you busy working now? Yeah giving a call is useful and more assured because sometimes, people might misread tx or won't be able to read or receive the text.

I am not into texting anymore, not like when I was in college when SMS messaging was just being launched, texting was still free back then so my friend and i would just keep on texting each other even though it is not important. Nowadays, calling seems to be more practical and faster, there are also so many other ways to communicate like the internet. I seldom touch my phone unless i need to inform someone who is not online about something. I usually prefer to communicate online.

I am a certified Text Addict... if I register to unlimited text whole day, I can send around 300-400 text messages to my friends. Text massages may vary from the very important ones to just a plain friendly conversation; from forwarded text messages to simply "good morning!" greetings; and from those corny text jokes to the more inspiring ones. I just can't get rid of my cellphone, and being able to receive simple "Hi" and "Hello" greetings from a few of my friends could brighten up my day.

Wow. I think when you get old, you must have sent about 10,000,000 text messages. Who do you usually text with? your bestfriend? family? special someone?

My cellphone operator gives me 100 free sms daily. But i never use all of them. I seldom sending sms. In a day, i usually send 20 sms and receive 20 to 30 sms. I'm not so addicted with texting service by cellphone. Here in my country we have a cheap calling rate due to the operators competition. At certain operator, with only 3 to 5 cents USD (in equivalent), we can calling a number for up to 1 hour. So i prefer to make a voice call. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I wish we had cheaper calls too but calling consumes much of the battery so I still prefer texting.

I'm not registered to any unlimited texting promo. I would receive about one hundred text messages on my personal number and more than 250 in my work number. If I'd estimate, I send about the same amount of messages assuming that I always reply to the people who text me. I am not a text addict. I text people only when I need to.
