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.

Yeah, that was my thing against texting too. I was charged ten cents a text either way. Then fifteen. Then twenty. At which point during my road trip it made sense to just pay five bucks for 300 texts since after 25 texts, they're basically free.

Now I wonder why I resisted so long. It's very useful and fun. Unfortunately, my phone is not a Smartphone and has very little memory for texts, so I can only save about twenty texts to treasure forever. I have to delete old gems to make room for more.

Congrats, Allyson!

I resisted texting b/c I hated doing it on a numberical keypad. Then I got an iPhone, and that was that. I'd still rather talk on the phone for a long conversation, but yeah, texting has lots of uses.

There's thing thing you can buy that'll let you read the memory card in your cellphone for retrieving and saving text messages, deleted phone numbers, etc. If you're interested I can try to find the link....

I have only ever texted once or twice. I wish I could get used to it, as it is pretty handy when you are in tech rehearsal and the people in the costume shop have a question or what have you.

Oooh, interesting. Sure, lemme see! I feel sad for all the great texts I have already deleted, but if it's not too expensive, it might be useful.

My FWB got married. I feel terribly numb and broken. Stupid, ugly, and useless. Please send, "let this pass quickly" vibes my way.

Sure, lemme see!

Oops, it's a kit. How good are you at soldering?
