Being a person who has never text messaged in her life, that number blows my mind.

I don’t text, except when I send my daughter texts from my computer to her phone occasionally, but on our last phone bill, she texted around 5000 messages in 1 month. Needless to say, I got the media package. I tried to look up online approximately how many texts are guessed at being sent in the US, like last year, and came up without any luck. Probably TMTH.

I like Stephannie do not use text messaging. I suppose I would though if it was the most economical way of communicating. I never dreamed that number would be so large and probably growing.
