I finally succumbed to texting this past December on my road trip when it became a useful tool to coordinate with people. It's good when you just want to relay short pieces of information or ask a single question to get an answer. For instance, when you want to let a couple dozen people know that Joshua Jackson just jogged right past you.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Our cell phone plan charges for texting so we don't use it. I have nothing against texting, I just don't want to pay for it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think Americans on average get charged much more for texting than people in other countries.

I pay $5/month for (I think) 500 texts, but it sure would be nice if it were included with my "unlimited data" plan.

New research shows that chimps have sex toys:
I quibble with use of the term "sex toy". According to the article, it's not being used for the sex itself, but to attract the female's attention to the male's erection so that they can have sex. It's like tight jeans.

It doesn't make any sense to me, a text message is a couple orders of magnitude less data than a phone call.

Now I'm imagining Chimp!Brook!Shields doing a commercial for Chimp!Jeans.

I agree with Vortex. It's certainly a tool, but not for Teh Sex itself.
Phone companies have a history of deliberately taking advantage of users -- for instance, dial tone actually costs them less than ring tone, but you have to pay extra for it now because it's less popular.
