If you have even a couple of friends you talking to and they text with their phones then it is worth it because it is quite easy to surpass 50 texts per day. Plus sometimes it more convenient to text someone. And if you have unlimited texting and unlimited evenings and weekends you can text during the day and anytime you need to talk as long as you want at night.

I find that on average, you will text more than you call. Especially since a lot of people text during lectures where actually calling the person isn't exactly convenient.

I used to text more than calling, but I usually end up calling people near me, and texting friends back in Toronto, since it is long distance to call from Hamilton/Dundas.

I found that I texted more than calling as well. There were only a few people who I called and the rest were texts during the day and to avoid long distance charges. But texting only works if the person you text is willing to text back. Not everyone has a texting plan.

Did you have a phone before university? lol

Its kind of like "once you go black, you never go back" haha

Once you use it, you're pretty much gonna keep on using it.

EDIT: lool the last sentence unintentionally sounds like im talking about getting addicted to drugs. But then again, its kind of like that sometimes

I plan on just yelling really loud and hoping the person I'm trying to contact hears me. It's a cost-effective plan

Texting in class is fun!

Me: "Yo are you asleep? Looks like your eyes are closed"
Friend: *no response*
