Cause most people who use text all the time, are quick at finding all the buttons they need....

no different to those that prefer to type on the keyboard than use the voice feature on yahoo for example....typing and speaking can be just as quick

my phone has "predictive text" It guesses what word I want PF.

Mine has the predicting feature too, which makes things much quicker until it predicts wrong.

Like Alasse said, I prefer IM to phone a lot of times when I am home.

Mine had predictive too....annoys the pisser outta me *LOL*....cause it never seems to predict right...so i turned it off

Find ya own Word dammit....Frogshit is mine buddy!!

And thats 2 (dont think i missed the other one ya used!)

Texting IS cheaper for me....like it or not...i dont care

PF they do not want to get cought stealing time at work like they would if they had to talk. School districts are banning phones because the students are texting in class to their freinds.

When our text messaging was free I would send cyber text to Cobalt at work and get him all hot and bothered.. hehehe :D

I've finally joined the new century & gotten a cell, after first being forced to get one for the wife in case her old buggy broke down...I opted for the pay-as-you-go (sometimes called disposable) cheapie phones you can buy at WallyWorld, $20 for the unit & refill with as many minutes as I might need during the next 60 days...since it's cheap, it's short on bells & whistles, but it does have text...wife & I don't text often, since as PF has pointed out, it's a bit of a pain to type with those teenytiny buttons, even with the predictive feature on, but one of the "bells" we don't have is voice mailbox, & with getting a connection always a challenge if we're not on the highest mountain close to a major residential area, sometimes the text message can be a real lifesaver...also, the text messages cost .3 units to send, nothing to receive, helps out the budget a little...
What I don't get is kids spending half their lives texting each other, but that may be a matter for another time & place...
