depends..sometimes i use it a lot and sometimes i can go without it for days. i'd say i talk more. i think this is more something to do with how old you are though..it's a youngsters thing i think.

if you're just talking about on the phone, it's about 50-50.

I do text more than talk actually. But that is because i don't like to use my credit talking to people that i see to talk to most of the time anyway.

i get free texts but would rather talk these days - it so much easier, quicker and allows one to be sarcastic.

It depends on the message. If it something short and non-urgent I usually send an SMS instead of calling someone.

texts are very useful - i think, however, that in european countries you guys have fewer talks minutes and more text allowance, hence the heavier usage
i would say im %75 talk %25 text
texting when youre drunk is HARD
last friday i had to shut one eye and stand up so i could see my phone straight !

if it's a question of what came first, I think the heavier usage came before the lowered prices...

No I think it's here to stay, in one form or another. It's useful if you don't want everybody on the bus to hear your conversation, or if you have to tell someone something, but you don't want to actually talk to them.

i text an awful lot because you're provided 250 free texts per month by o2, from the web. so it's handy.
you can even schedule them, so you can set em up to text you as reminders. deadly.

Yea, man has gone a long time without, and still made some pretty good innovations (like mobile phones). I remember when all texts were free! They were seen as something that people would only use in emergencies I believe!

I think I've sent maybe 2 text messages in my entire life. I can't stand trying to type on a mobile phone.

yeah, but there's always stupid people who use like a message pero word, or answer your questions with more questions like:
me: hey where are you guys? other person: i'm with the guys, get over here me: where? other person: at a party me: FEIUFDHI DF FIU AHIS LFI!"$&·$&"·&"" other person: are you gonna come? me: FUCK YOU
so by this point it would have been cheaper to just call the bastard.
