My cell phone bill - YorkieTalk.com Forums

SladesMommy · 03-08-2008, 10:02 AM

Usually I just pay it, and don't pay much attention to it, unless it is more than it should be or something.

Well today I looked at it for some reason. I have built up over 4,000 rollover mins b/c I HATE talking on the phone. BUT I sent 1,200 text messages (mostly to one person) in ONE month.

I think I may need a text messaging anonymous meeting!

My son needs to be a member too! I posted about his texting bill wich was over 5,000 text

His grandpa had texting blocked( it's on his plan, not ours) to teach him a lesson!

SladesMommy · 03-08-2008, 11:09 AM

wow 5,000

Does the kid ever sleep? I don't think I could send 5,000 a month if I tried. Luckily I wised up after going just a tiny bit over my 250 a month and got unlimited txts messages!

My niece, who is 16, probably sends that many a month. She can txts like a little speed demon too. I'll barely have pressed send and she'll have already sent me another msg!

I got the plan for my daughter that has unlimited texting. I takes me forever to type out a text message

Superstarkba · 03-08-2008, 01:33 PM

Wow. I do'nt think I could send that many.. maybe like 500? is how many I send. I use to hate texting before I got the Auto text, now I do'nt mind it as much.

no, I seriously hate talking on the phone! Even to order pizza, i'll make someone else call and order it.

Bizzymammabee · 03-08-2008, 03:29 PM

LOL....I use my texts way more than my minutes as well. I probably use 20 minutes in a month and send a million and one texts.

Yorkiekids · 03-08-2008, 04:17 PM

My daughter texts so much I wonder how she gets anything else done.

I am SO like you. I have more than 5,000 rollover minutes.

SladesMommy · 03-08-2008, 05:14 PM

I wish there was some cheap plan I get with like no mins and unlimited txts.

Kathryn_V · 03-08-2008, 05:24 PM

I swear my daughter txt's in her sleep!

RoxyJosMom · 03-08-2008, 05:41 PM

I'm tellin' ya, my dtr has you all beat - 15,000 in one month. Her average was 13 - 14,000/month for awhile. She can text with both hands at the same time without looking. Or text and chat on the puter at the same time. Yup, she's a whiz on the keyboard. Hard to even see her fingers move-just watch the words whizz across the screen. Me - my battery will run out on my phone while I'm trying to text a msg, lol.

SladesMommy · 03-08-2008, 05:43 PM

She sounds alot like my niece! I can't imagin 15,000 in one month

I'm the same way. I can barely call my best friend. Sometime about the phone is just SO weird to me. I don't want to feel like I'm interrupting people. So I figure if I text, then they'll just look at it whenever they can and I don't have to worry that I called them during dinner or something.

But wow...15,000 in a month? lol! I probably sent about 300-400 a month. If I had a keyboard on my phone instead of just numbers I'd probably send a lot more though.

Our plan is unlimited texting for $30/month.
