Writing a paper for school, need real life idea about how many people are sending.  About How many do you guys send per month?  Verizon Customers, if you dial #3282 you will get a free message with the exact number of messages you have sent so far in your monthly plan.

Few thousand probably.  Gotta move that herb.  I never have real conversations over text though, that shit is whack.  Just for small things and locations and stuff.

oh my god yeah, i have a friend like that. she's sent 200 in ONE DAY before. two thousand. she is insane. at homecoming, she got a little award for "most likely to write a texting manual," and her dad says that she texts while showering--one handed, not looking, hand outside of the shower. why? who is that fixated on sending "lol." to someone?


for me, probably like less than 10 a month. my dad got pissed when i had a $6 texting bill. Six dollars. I don't know why. He pays a shitton just so he can have internet, but I can't text at all?

I guess i don't really like texting, but now i know that sometimes it's just more convenient, you know?
