I missed texting.....

Oh Letran. Please do not miss texting. It is the lowest form of communication that I know of. I hate texts, when I receive a text I ring the person back beacuse I can't be bothered with the hassle if typing something out on a phone. Phones were not designed for typing. I said it many times before and I will say it again "All cell phones are evil"

I was addicted to texting before. I mean the act of texting itself. I didnt care who I was texting with as long as I just have to text. I forwarded messages a lot and I had a postpaid plan back the too. Well, my Mom unknowingly applied for 2 so she gave me the other one. That time I didnt have that much need for texting. I mean, important calls and texts were minimal so I had a lot of credits to burn. So I got addicted to it. These days, though, I use texting for what it is. I only text when needed and when Im having an sms conversation with someone that I personally know and wish to text with.^_^

hi lk! if we can manage to lessen the expenses using other technologies beyond mobile phones, then why not. ym and skype really helped a lot lowering my bills. plus i'm under a postpaid plan from a network that allows unlimited calls and texts to the same network. before, my phone bills would amount to $225-$400 a month. but with my network service now, i'm only paying less than $50 a month. even if i add my internet which costs about $80-85, the total is still less than what i used to pay for my phone bills.

To be honest, I don't miss texting at all. I have never been a texter but have been addicted to chatting online a lot. I didn't see the point in the texting generation because I get pissed instantly with people who cannot text properly and do shortcut words instead of texting it fully (as if the expense is by character). I am expert texter, I might say, I can text as fast as I could type and as fast as I could talk. Anyhow, I did attempt having textmates a few years back, but found it frustrating to be talking to someone for quite a while, only to find out that physically you don't like the person. I did try to meet several (as friends) but saw that that is the worst way to find someone as a companion or friend. I guess it doesn't work for me. It's different though online, because you will see the person through the webcam and find a lot more photos for the person, though still, it's different when you meet. As for expenses of texting, I don't think anyone who cannot provide himself or herself the load or money to load up prepaid numbers should be texting in the first place. I am proud to say that never have I allowed my mobile number to go less than 100 load. I was an expert with the unlimited text and calls before, but now that I have opened a postpaid line, I no longer care because I have too many credits to even consume the whole month. I guess if I had been addicted these days, the people texting me would quit before I do so. hahahahaha.. Anyway, it was a phase in my life that I don't regret. You do find a lot of lonely souls in the digital world and I guess through that medium people could be whoever they wanted to be. An ugly person could be the most handsome guy, the married man could be single, and the gay could be a girl. But all in all, most of it is a lie anyways. Nothing to be serious about. Have a great MyLot experience!

Definitley, we are charged for texting and if you think of it in another angle, like you mention, it's actually a good thing because you are able to save some money!! It's quite true. During my high school days, i do have many text mates but now, i'm left with only a little. Furthermore, it's much more convenient to use skype or MSN messenger. We only need a internet connection. However, i try my best not to log in to those sites because they will really eat away the time that i have available for studying and revising my work. Technology has evolved and i wonder what the new technology will surprise us when it comes to communication in 2111

hi, i only load up my cellphone every weekend because many of my friends are off for that day,i dont many text mates because i know its just a waste of money just for me.since i have my land line telephone i am more prefer to use that to save.

I do a lot of texting. I pay extra $5 per month to be able to text more. I do this mostly with my friends, clients and hubby. I may not be able to catch these people online all the time. Some of my clients can't be reached so easily, so I leave a text message for them to call me back or instructions for the next course of action, etc. I love to text!

never missed texting except texting family members, loved ones, and actual friends. not a big fan of sms. i know it is convenient but i'd rather call the person instead of send him/her a sms. just a preference. better yet, i'd rather converse with the person face to face, more personal and definitely better. cheers lk25!

Hi Letran, I never really liked texting and if I need to communicate with anyone, I'd rather make a voice call. But I do resort to texting whenever the one I need to communicate with can't be reached. Texting takes more effort coz you have to type your message in such a small device, and I must say I haven't developed the skill for this.

i still text once in a while, it is the least expensive way of communication, very similar to chatting bu you dont have to be online. I know this was originally made for mute and deaf people but texting has really changed the mobile industry in the Phil. i dont think cell phones would have spread asw widely if not for texting.

Hi Letran I use to get texts at all hours of the day and night and sometimes ridiculously late too. Somehow mine too have halted and well though it was a bit disheartening I am now use to it. Seems that because I am not working I guess some just do not want to be bothered with me so then I guess it is okay as really where is the true sense of what I use to call them friends.

Well I'm not really a texting guy although we are the text capital of the world, I seldom or never use texting for socializing, only with old acquaintances and business matters. My phone is post paid ever since I can remember and I still have a lot of extra call and text at the end of the month, funny but I never experienced buying load like most people do cause I do not want conversation cut or the bother because you run out of load and you are talking or discussing something really important

hello LK, Now I know why you rarely text me You can find promo now a days no need to spend that much have a great sunday

Hello latran i don't have the habit of texting if i need to communicate with friends i normally do a voice call texting never i don't like it too. Yes it is equal almost if you do a texting or voice call in terms of money there are another ways to send messages like emails, phones are made to talk not for messaging.

I mainly use my phone for texting my husband while we are both working or when we are away from each other running errands. I hate wasting my minutes on random texts though.

people nowadays contact each other through facebook. i have just one textmate right now. we can't chat on facebook everyday that's why we keep texting each other. i also use my phone to check on my daughter because he's dad is also not able to use the computer. but if all my contacts will be able to use a computer everyday, i probably won't be using my phone anymore.

I miss texting too.. I have not received a single text since a few days and I cannot think of anyone to text.. so I just save my money

I myself hate texting! My fiancée would call me all the time because he knows that I hate to type on the phone, though I have no choice but to answer back to my bro n sis, or my best friend because they just don't call!!!
