Not very much.....maybe 0-5 a day.

Izzy Stizzlebonk 09-09-2010 02:29 PM

Very, very little. My fingers are too fat for the little keyboard on the phones. And the touch screen keyboard? Oh man, don't get me started!

Abduco 09-09-2010 10:11 PM

Like, once a day lol.
I don't like texting, they always take forever to reply.
It's boring too. I only do it when I really need something.

I may text once every other week actually, but I try not to text and drive because according to this new nationwide commercial I saw the other day it says that if you drive, you text, you die. So I don't want to die so I don't text and drive lol... Sorry the commercial was just a bit too melodramatic. hehehehhehe

I hate texting. >_> Takes me forever to find the right letters on my cellphone and it's expensive. 6 texts = roughly $1US, really not worth it when I could just call the person and get three minutes of free phone-time every time I do so instead.

Moogle 09-16-2010 05:22 PM

I txt...all day everyday. But I'm trying to stop because it's becoming annoying now. =.=

I can't count my txts anymore because I have a new phone and it doesn't show how many txts I have in my inbox anymore. But I used to send at least 4k a day. Idk if that's how many I send now. It doesn't feel like it, but then again when does it ever, right?

I text alllll the time ;D!! It's one of my addictions OwO.. You know what my other addiction is (: hehe.

HitsuHime 12-17-2010 10:44 PM

I stopped keeping track of how often and when I text. Sometimes I'll text throughout the entire day and other time I'll just either text very little or not at all.

Yet I still manage to get an average of 10000 text a month. Though I've also managed to break that record in two weeks over the summer. xD
I'm pretty addicted to texting. but my phone is so crappy that it's starting to become a nuisance. D<

Arumaixana 12-18-2010 02:19 AM

Since I got my phone last year I have sent a total of 412 messages. and that's last YEAR. These people who send 10000 a month scare me a little XD
I guess I don't text much because I HATE text talk (omg wats up ppls? im txting u) so I go through the long effort of typing "you" as opposed to "u" and since my phone doesn't have a keyboard, that takes a long time. Plus it's kind of really boring...

I text my parents every once in a while, but if I am not on Skype I tend to text a very close friend of mine. It is a bit slow since she does not text most of the time, but we can get in about 20 texts in half an hour, give or take how long it takes both of us to read and reply, and wait for the rest of a text if it is split up into multiples.

Stupid texting character limit. If that was raised it would be a lot easier to text and much less of a hassel for me and some other people I know who hate texting with txtlk.

Never.

I hate texting. I have friends who do it constantly whenever they come over or we go anywhere, and it drives me insane. Most of what they send seems to be pointless one- or two-word messages. Personally, if I'm going to talk to someone, I want to have a meaningful, thought-out conversation, not exchange, "hey, watz up?!!!" every ten minutes. (Okay, to be fair, not everyone who texts does that, but where I live, that seems to be basically the contents of every message they ever send.)

I think another aspect of why I dislike it is how I've noticed that a lot of people who text a lot become very impatient when waiting for texts, even if the other person takes only like ten minutes or so to respond. It seems to me that it only increases the obsession with instant gratification that so many young people have these days.

I actually don't even have a cell phone. I've never wanted one; for some reason they kind of annoy me in general, actually. xD

Pa-pancake 12-18-2010 03:55 PM

Every day! I have a select few people whom I feel like I HAVE to text everyday! Even if its just random lame jokes with no content whatsoever ^^" But I do love to text since my phone makes it so easy being a touch screen and all. I think I send about around 20 texts a day which to me, isn't too excessive, isn't it? Its not exactly cheap to text that much anyways...

Sometimes though, I do get rather lazy to text. So I'd rather just call the person.

Pandiees 12-18-2010 04:10 PM

to be honest i dont have a
phone

Sun 12-18-2010 04:14 PM

Hardly ever. I prefer IM or computer based communications. Texting on my phone is a bitch, which adds to my dislike. I do though like the kind of flirtatious texting one can engage in. That's a bit harder on IM.

Mystic 12-18-2010 04:39 PM

I hate talking on the phone except for business. I am so awkward with conversation and it's just easier for me to text than to talk.

Sho-Shonojo 12-18-2010 05:00 PM

I text more often than I call but I only call people once in a blue moon.

I normally don't send texts unless someone texts me first or if I really need to get a hold of someone. I prefer texting over calling because I always feel like I'm bothering someone when I call them. That, and I tend to be misunderstood or misunderstand other people when I'm talking on the phone. With texts I can write out clearly what I want to say and I can think through what it is I want to say as well.

RosieRocketshipp 12-18-2010 05:06 PM

well, i'm a texting-addicted teenager who erases her inbox about 3 times a day, let's just say that >.<
ha, sometimes i forget to erase it though and i stop recieving texts until i realize my inbox is full so i erase it and then i'm flooded with texts from hours ago x]

angelbabe1 12-18-2010 05:48 PM

royal randomness 12-18-2010 07:04 PM

i text all the time im texting right now i like to text all my freinds :P and i get texts all times of the day i enjoy texting its sun and simple and it works when you want to walk to some one but dont really have that much to say so you don't have to call just to say one or two things to that person

Ebil 12-18-2010 09:02 PM

I've never sent a text. Wouldn't have a clue how to either. I've never owned a mobile phone because I hate talking on the phone, plus I get no reception out where I live, so owning one would be pointless.

It's bad enough having a land line. I'd hate to have a mobile phone that people expect me to answer all the time >.< I find telephones really obnoxious and demanding. People expect you to be available all the time when you have a phone, it's irritating.
You can be doing something vitally important (like chatting to random strangers online) and then the damn phone starts ringing and whoever's there, just expects you to drop everything in 3-5 rings in order to deal with them. If you don't answer, they hang up and a lot of idiots ring back straight away and it's like having a small baby to attend to. Worse than that, is that usually you drop what you're doing, run to the phone thinking it's something important, and it turns out to be someone you've probably already seen that day who has nothing worth saying anyway >.<
Just interrupt my life for no reason why don't you? >.<
/rant

Anyhow, yeah, I don't see the point in texting either. I have e-mail. I live on the computer. Stepping away from the computer (which by the way has a proper sized keyboard) to pick up some tiny beepy thing and attempt to type out a message that has to be shortened into gibberish in order to cost less money to send, on a minute keypad that's been designed for someone who's fingers haven't grown since birth.... that makes no sense whatsoever to me.

Michy Lea 12-19-2010 01:47 AM

I don't text very much at all. I mostly have my cell phone for emergencies. I text maybe once a day on average. Some days, I may text up to 10-20 times, but that's very rare. This guy that wants to date me texts "good morning" to me every morning, so I reply to that. That's usually it.

Soul 12-20-2010 08:42 AM

I'm a texting addict oUo
I average like 400 texts a day. thank god I got unlimited.
I just got my first phone in july, but i'm at the point where if I need to look like I'm paying attention to someone infront of me, i'll whip out my phone, and type a message with no errors, while making eye contact with the person infront of me. I don't have to look at my keyboard once. XD It boggles the mind of my parents.

Amethyst Lavenlight 12-22-2010 05:41 AM

I text a lot. :( It gets on my parents' nerves. But now my mom is becoming an addict and I'm starting to think that she's texting more than me...

Maria-Minamino 12-22-2010 05:51 AM

I text when texted to....if no one texts me, I usually don't text them unless I need to ask a question. When people text me, I'll have a conversation, but I won't drag it on. I have unlimited texting, which is great, but I am not addicted to it. That being said, I would MUCH rather text someone than call them...I sound awkward on the phone D:

Lexadis 12-22-2010 03:31 PM

I love texting & usually text atleast once, though usually only about 20. I have eight friends who keep on circling so its difficult to choose which to text, and mostly they are rather muddling ;_; I use mom's phone so I keep a limit, or else my mom might take the phone and I don't want the risk ;p
