So, are you addicted to your phone like most American teenagers today? I know myself how attached my child is to his phone. He sends over 10,000 texts a month. Do your children do the same? Or, do even you text your friends and loved ones this much?

Well I dont text that much even though I did text a lot for one month and ended up spending over two hundred dollars lol. Which wasnt my fault since I thought we had some text plan which I thought we did. But I rarely do any texting anymore havnt done it in a long time.

My daughter topped out last month at 19,991 texts. I also text but I only logged 2000 of them! I find it is so much easier if I only have a quick question. If I need an explanation, then I will call. Thank goodness for unlimited texting! Can you imagine paying 10 cents each? OUCH

No, I don't send text messages often. In fact I hardly send text messages. I prefer to call the person, if I have some message for the person or if I want a chat. Even if there is a festival and want to send greeting, I prefer to call the person.

I personally am not that big of a fan of sending texts. I use it only when needed. In a month I probably send around 20 texts. I use the Internet as a means of communication as it is much cheaper. The keyboard and the bigger screen makes things a lot easier.

When I was single, I text a lot. But now that I'm married, text exchanges usually happen between me, my husband and a cousin who looks after my son while we work. But on an average I only get 1 to 5 messages daily. We all use the same network so we can save more since we can make unlimited calls and have unlimited texting.
My 5 year old son figured how to text on his own. I was really amazed, he can do that at such a young age. He usually text sweet messages like "I love you", just this morning, he gave me a graphic rose. I guess he is tinkering his nanny's cellphone again.

I don't text that much, only when m friend will text me, which is once or twice a week. Once my grandson gets his cell phone, then I will probably be texting him. He is 14, and he loves to text, and me being a granny, I don't do that much, but when I do it, I just love it. I have so much fun with it. My daughter thinks it is funny that I text, but hey, I have unlimited text messaging, so why not? I might as well use it. When my friend and I test we don't text all that long, but we do have fun while doing it. Have a good day, and happy mylotting.
