I avoid it like the plague. Unfortunately the guy who runs things in our band likes to do it a lot, which means I find myself texting a couple times a week, which I hate.

On the other hand my total talk time per month is usually not more than 15 minutes, with 150 minutes being very high, and usually only when I spend some time with a friend (USLCPL and I talk once every other month or so, and that will run as much as two hours), but other months I've totalled less than five minutes.

I only ever respond to those received...I never instigate them.

A bit silly really considering my texts are free but there is just something not right to me seeing someone tapping away on their phone in a public place.

Not at all when it comes to my phone. I spend about $20 on air time every two or three months. I only use my phone for work calls mostly. :D

$20 That cheap, lucky that you've studied now, but soon when you get another job so the bill, can easily be 10 times higher :doh:
