LOL damn she beats me! Tongue

I send 20-65 txts a day :p LOL

thank god i too have unlimited
IDK its jus nowdays ppl r more n more using their cells phones to either use it as a MP3 player or IMing or Texting and using the internet lol LOL

even i get bored of answering calls...instead i have my frens text me Big smile

now should teens get cell phones?
I say why not? Tongue

I mean theres nothing wrong with texting tht much if u have an unlimited texting plan like the girl in the artile and I do BUT....if they dont hve a txting plan thats wen I think parent should come in handy...plus the company she has AT&T,,,they actually have an online account system where u can log into and see who u txted or who txted u...lol u can even see who'se giving u all those blank private calls..the numbrs dun show on ur phne but AT&T website account gets a rcrd of whos callin so parents can chck like tht on whose txting their child or callin them..wat time they called etc Embarrassed

hmmmm

well. in a way, it is not so surprising either.

a teen may speak more sentences than that to his friends.
so what, if instead of saying, he texted.
(if money is not that big issue for them)
