Over the last few months my text messaging overages on my cell phone bill have risen ever so slightly.

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…
