Whoa..
I send maybe 1-2 every month at most.
For her sake, let us hope she can make use of free text messaging campaigns or similar.
Imagine the bill otherwise...

It's sad how, for some people, texting pretty much replaced talking. I'm sure some of you have seen two people sitting next to eachother, texting eachother when they oculd be actually talking to eachother. I have seen that many times.

Personally, I don't text. I don't even have a cellphone. Maybe because technology is beginning to scare me. As soon as I have mastered one technology enough to use it, another one makes it obsolete. That's why I stick to games. It's easier to keep up when you're in only one race at a time.

I'd rather text, IM or e-mail than talk on the phone. I don't like to talk very much, because people tend to notice my speech impediment. :(

I have no idea how that is even physically possible. Of course, maybe a ton of them were just the texting equivalent of shitposting...

at 160 characters a text, she could have easily written a novel.

What a waste of time! I'd much rather just call someone up and get something sorted in a 30 sec conversation than waste 20 mins texting back and forth and waitng for a reply.

I once again suggest that it was lots and lots of text sex. Hundreds of variations on "Oooh", "Yeah", "hrdr", "im guna cum" and such. Or shitposting, as Vetalia put it.

so instead of going to talk to the people she's texting and have a meal with them or a film she just constantly texts them?
her friends must text to a similar degree as she does.scary.
I can see dollar signs appear in phone network dudes, ching ching ching.

So, I got my cellphone bill last month, and I had 177 texts on it. At the time, I thought, "Wow, I'm texting way too much, I need to slow down." Now, I don't feel nearly so bad about 177.

Yeah man, gettin a little crazy on the "lol"s are ya??:)

Seriously though, how can her eyes not hurt after staring at that tiny screen all day? She must be able to text while doing anything. I mean anything; including cheerleading.

Well, she might've chosen 'Send to all', and every person she sent it too might've counted as a separate text message.
