The challenge now is to T9 without looking - as the phone is usually in a hoody pocket. It takes just a second to glance at an incoming text or to approve an outgoing. It's the actual composing that must be done on the down-low; therein lies the challenge. ;-) Not at all, Doug. The challenge now is to T9 without looking – as the phone is usually in a hoody pocket.

When I was in school, we were so old fashioned. We had to use a pencil and paper...and pass the note across three rows of kids and hope not to get intercepoted by the teacher. I remember thinking I was so clever fro writing a note on the inside of a gun wrapper so theteacher wouljdn't catch on. Text messaging just kills of the challenge. :) Doug Man.

This came after Sarah ran up almost $200 in charges one month by doing approximately <strong>1000</strong> more SMS than the plan gave for free! Talk about a heart attack...but she paid it. :-) I pay $20/month with Sprint to get unlimited SMS for the phones on my family plan.

Like I said, though, it is becoming more common now so the prices are starting to come down.

IIANM that's pretty much the case with the other carriers in my country (Malaysia), and gives a huge incentive for people here to prefer text messaging. I guess the price structure in the US does just the opposite.

I think the reason (or at least part of it) is the way most cell phone providers work SMS into the plan. It is almost never unlimited and it is usually an additional cost on an already pricey plan. Sounds like Mosio would work well for you guys. Head over to JAMM and enter the contest. :) Doug I have heard that before, guys.

In addition to the 50 or so emails a month that I send from my phone, I also send around 100-150 SMSes every month. It seems to be a lot more popular here and in Europe than the USA.
