Texting: The New Email
- 1 Comment
But there is no denying it. It is rising.
I used to hardly ever text because I have email. Plus I was limited to 100 text messages per month. That was a limit that I was grandfathered into, as Verizon no longer offer that package. (New minimum is 250 text messages per month.)
Anyway I finally raised my limit yesterday to 250. It will cost me an extra $2 per month but the overages were consistently higher than that every month.
I was stubborn. I didn’t want to lose my low cost text plan in favor of a higher one if text nessaging was just a fad.
Truth is, texting is far from a fad. I know people that text hundreds, even thousands of text messages per month. I receive ten times the amount of text messages I used to. A lot of my friends don’t use email regularly, but they do text very regularly.
Now the only question is should I bite the bullet and raise it to 500 text messages a month and unlimited “IN” texting? It’s only another 5 bucks a month and now that I’ve raised my limit I see the amount of texting I do multiplying fast…

I am on T-Mobile, and I finally gave up and bought unlimited text messaging for $9.95/month. My two teenagers can send 150 text messages A DAY between them.
Me - I still only do about 5-10 a month. BUt I once got a bill for $147 in overages (when I was on Verizon). That’s when I switched to unlimited. And to a different carrier!
