How many text messages do you use a month? Ask a Question

Probably averaging around 20/month.

Why use text when voice or email work much better?

Yeah, I don't understand the reasoning on this technology - communication perfection is voice passing over long distances, why do people want to peck at a tiny keyboard to build short sentences to communicate long distances. Say what you want and get it over with.

dude you should decrease those numbers

Yeah, the proposed intervals don't seem too reasonable... But then again I don't have a limitless messaging plan (they don't exists in Portugal) and even so I only text. (SMS is the only means of communicating via cell phone I use unless someone calls me... and I decide to pick up. ;)) So maybe for those with a lot of free text messages those numbers aren't so weird especially since there's actually some blue and orange marks on the map.

funny its the opposite for me. i can place unlimited phone calls (at least for the people i do call the most, that is my family and some friends) but I have to pay every little SMS I send... and each one of them cost a lot ;)

SMS used to be cheaper than phone calls, now the costs aren't very different. I could get I plan where I don't pay for calls and SMS made for people of the same mobile phone carrier but no one uses my provider and even if I did knew a lot of people who shared my mobile communications carrier the problem that I hate talking on the phone remains. ;)
