Do you text more than you make calls?

I think last month I had a total of 7 minutes talking on the cell, while I had way over 400 text messages.

I was just talking to a coworker about this, less than 20 minutes ago.

My call history consists of calls from my mom, calls to my dad, missed calls from my sister, and calls to/from my wife... with random take out restaurants.



USED: 236 minutes (3 calls = 116 of the 236... 40min with my dad, 28min with my dad, and 48 minutes with mortgage agent to refi).

I only used 343 SMS texts, but I use Google Talk more than SMS, and I use Go!Chat for facebook messaging from my phone.

645MB of 3G Data and 700KB roaming data



...and I don't have a home phone. This is my only phone number.

Texting aggravates me because I lack a keypad wand. I always mash multiple buttons and end up pressing the keys with my thumbnails.



I spend more time texting, but I say a lot more when I am calling.

Last month I used 286 minutes, 1800 text messages, and a gig of data.



This past month I used 400 minutes, 2070 text messages, and close to a gig of data.



The month before I deployed I used 180 minutes, 7600 text messages (no thats not a typo), and close to a gig of data.





So yeah, I text way more often that I make calls.

Honestly in the past month, I've made and/or received like 10 calls. I've sent close to 2000 texts though. I've never liked talking to people on the phone. Especially ordering food. That I'll do online whenever I can. Plus, I can reply to a text on my time. I can't sit there on a call for 10 minutes and then respond.

5442 text messages.

1.316Gb data



That's pretty normal for me.

I had close to 15Gb of data used last month though. :twisted:
