Text Messaging - how many do you send per month?

I just realized something might be wrong with me with my cellphone social skills.

I feel like I'm SEVERELY under-texting.

The average number of monthly texts for a 13- to 17-year-old teen is 1,742, according to a Nielsen study of cellphone usage.

I text an average of about 10 per month. I feel like like an odd-ball. But I'd rather call people than text back.

How many texts do you average per month, or what's the most amount of texts you ever sent? I mean non-promoter/commercial texts.

Jesus titty-fucking Christ.

I'm around 10-20 as well - depends if I get into a "conversation" or not.

I don't think it's possible for myself to find an accurate number but I text alot because I have unlimited and it's easier to understand when you're at a loud club

200-300 a month.... maybe more with my new phone.

I probably do around 1-150 a month. I also have other people one Blackberry Messenger I stopped texting them once I added them on there.

BTW its more appealing to have companies promote 10 000 texts messages a month than 'Unlimited'. Either way, almost everyone won't go over that.

1,044 msgs received
786 msgs sent last month

Posted by mnemonic. on Jan-12-2009 05:17:

did an average of just under 400 over the last three months

Posted by Mach X on Jan-12-2009 05:27:

I got like 500-1500 each month, but that is also including Facebook notifications, Capital One and other Bank notifications and such... so reply to those to get the message are alot of them too.

Received: 967

I have a plan with 15,000 sent / month.

Posted by VERTiG0 on Jan-12-2009 08:09:

I average about 800 sent per month.

Posted by love_child on Jan-12-2009 13:11:

3,443

Posted by exstasie on Jan-12-2009 13:27:

maybe a 100-200, depends on a lot of different things.

My would be significantly higher though if I didn't have Blackberry Messenger. My gf has BBM as well, so that cuts down my SMS at least in half.

But I'm on HF, and there are people on their complaining that they send 5,000-10,000 SMS each month, lots of them are for business purposes though.

Posted by She_Fitz on Jan-12-2009 13:33:

My highest was 5000 total sent and received but my monthly average is 2000-2500.

Got a little trigger happy on the reply.

Posted by ChemEnhanced on Jan-12-2009 14:05:

I send 5-10 text messages a month.

Just another sign you're getting old....our generation is the crossover generation....we can embrace communication technology and we are not affraid of it but we still enjoy doing this the old fashion way.
