September 15, 201313 yr How much time does it take out of your life to trade 1000 text messages (500 received, 500 responses) To drop what you are doing, pick up your phone, read the text and send a reply, put your phone down and get back to work, how long? If, on average, it took say a minute to do that. I know some would be less, and some more, but if you average a minute, then it would suck up 500 minutes or 8.33 hours. Takes me less than 20 seconds to fire off a text. I use my phone on BGP a lot so my posts are like texts.
September 15, 201313 yr If I ever go over 100 texts, I will turn it off. Texting annoys me. It is a necessary evil that I do as little as possible. If I need to text more than 5 words, I either call or just don't send the message. I don't text period, as if I don't have the time to speak to someone, then I don't have the time to text them either! And besides it gets in the way of eating your oatmeal and watching the Waltons, right?:lol2:
September 15, 201313 yr I don't text period, as if I don't have the time to speak to someone, then I don't have the time to text them either! Wouldn't this logic also apply to email?
September 15, 201313 yr Wouldn't this logic also apply to email? Not if I knew the E-mail address but not the phone number of the person or business, or if I was sending them a attachment of a file!:clap:
September 15, 201313 yr Not if I knew the E-mail address but not the phone number of the person or business, or if I was sending them a attachment of a file!:clap: I don't get the logic for a basic email vs a text. They both require you to type something on your phone.
September 15, 201313 yr Most everyone I talk to has an iPhone and they are those "blue" MSGS so they don't count as text. I'd say around a thousand
September 15, 201313 yr Most everyone I talk to has an iPhone and they are those "blue" MSGS so they don't count as text. I'd say around a thousand I didn't think about that. I have an iMessage for almost everyone.
September 15, 201313 yr I don't get the logic for a basic email vs a text. They both require you to type something on your phone. So who E-mails from a phone? Not me!
September 15, 201313 yr My august bill Sent 5638 Received 8479 You could cut both down by about 30 each if you would quit buggin' me about your damn printer parts that some other FedEx employ lost. :jump:
September 15, 201313 yr None....If it is important enough to say, I call. I do not receive them either. I think it is so impersonal to text and send emails. I use the phone and letters....
September 16, 201313 yr So who E-mails from a phone? Not me! Since I'm in and out of the office so much, e-mail by phone is an absolute must-have.
September 16, 201313 yr You could cut both down by about 30 each if you would quit buggin' me about your damn printer parts that some other FedEx employ lost. :jump: No I never, lol....see if I send you updates on the opposition again. Furthermore, maybe the packages wouldn't get "misplaced" so much if every other response you send me wasn't "shhh don't bother me im at the Library on BGP."
September 16, 201313 yr Takes me less than 20 seconds to fire off a text. Same here. A 20 second text would be a long one, too.
