I use Textnow the last update tied in your GV Number so you have a actaully number to give wich is nice my texts are now mostly through there
 
Halfway through my billing cycle...already sent 13!!!
Been a busy month :D

I dont think Ive sent a thousand txts in almost 15 years of mobile phone ownership!
 
I range between 500 and 1500 but never go above 1500 because that is the plan I have, once my son gets his iPhone I am switching to the unlimited Family plan
 
mine's between 150 and 200/month and i feel like i'm texting all the time! i can't imagine over 1000! :)

my wife and i use it big time for short communications instead of phone calls. for example, i texted her today while grocery shopping b/c i couldn't remember if we had lettuce. simple and easy, but i can't see us ever stopping the texting.
 
Really?

i generally do between 14,000 to 19,000 a month. All my friends text because its easier to get in touch, and i'm a 20 year old guy in college. My friend can beat everyone and she doesnt even have an iphone....39000 one month...dont know how she did it but she did.


39000 text monthly /30 days = 1300 text a day

1300 text daily / 13 awake hours = 100 text per hours :eek:

Jesus Christ what do you people do all day. :confused:

Even in college I couldn't see doing that many text everyday and manage to have a decent GPA.

There's nothing on earth you can talk about that much unless your just a messy person or run a business where texting is mandatory. I haven't seen a soul who can do over 4000 text and keep over a 3.5. If you can then you need a career multitasking for a company. :D



PS: I use about 150 -225 text per month.

"what do you people do all day" LOL..... it is amazing, I just can't fathom it either but "hay" i guess it's not our cup of tea.... carpel tunnel syndrome of the thumbs and hands.....
just FYI for college bound kids.... major need for Orthopedic Surgeons in a few years....:D

wonder if i can buy stock in that!!
 
Last month I was at 2300. I text more than I talked on my phone to my family and friends.

Mostly though it's from getting Twitter SMS updates from certain people or companies I follow.

I do think I receive more texts than I actually text. :)

I can't see myself get near 5000 + unless it's a busy month.

Actually you're spot on. I do run a business with my family with about 75 employees and thats why i get a lot of text messages, and i do keep over a 3.5 as well. The amount of texts you do has nothing to do with how you'll do in school. Everyone uses it differently and to each their own. For me it works and i need that ability. My friend who did 39,000 i cant speak for her but i think she's just a little out there
 
My son just hit 34,632 and 10 day left in billing cycle.

they lost out on the unlimited tx's:eek:
 
I had 1K last month and most of those are to my wife. This month will probably be less than that. She's not a fan of texts and prefers the phone.
 
This is a pretty old thread, but I noticed my actual SMS texting has gone down quite a bit since iMessage. My wife who I text the most being on it as well as about half the other people I text means AT&T is losing out big time as I can stay with the 1000 plan and not need to go to unlimited. There's really only one person I text heavily and a couple occasional that don't have iPhones.
