Okay, once upon a time, i did not own a cell phone. I was a happy lad, always skipping happily through the flowers and the leaves. Then one day my sister decided to get a new cell phone, because her gadget was outdated. So, being the wonderful caring brother that i am, i volunteered to take her old phone, enter, the end...

This phone showed me how wonderful phones can be, i began to study this wonderful machine and quickly realized how amazing it was, especially when i started using text messaging....

That phone broke, 2 hours later i had a $250 cell phone, rather nifty. My text messaging ressumed! Still on pay and talk, i began wasting money and more money on text messaging. Until, i changed my phone for a newer phone with Telus. This phone had..........the internet. suddenly text messaging became routine, and texting certain people on a daily basis became normal, costing me near $100 a week!

soon i realized that i was getting Pwned by telus, and i got a new plan.......with unlimmited text messaging....dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! My text messaging doubled, tripled, quadroupled. my phone became an attatchment of my body. And then i realized, HOLY FCKIN CRAP!

but now it is too late, the cell has taken over my body and i am transforming into a robot from hell. soon, i will be eating babies and milking trees. or, running for president!

the world must end. *Blows up the world*

so, what are ur views on text messaging? :wub:

Text messaging? Yes, of course, each and every day. Well, that was when I still had a cell phone. Alas! Those days have been long gone. Sad

Anyway, I found txt messaging better than having a cell phone conversation. I hate those akward silent moments between two people. Plus! In the Philippines, txt messaging is cheaper than calling someone. ^_^

I hold the record for the most text messages sent in one month =D I'm not lying either. In a month span I sent over 800,632 messages =D that was one hell of a phone bill, thankfully those nice people at T-mobile dropped the bill because I thought I had purchased unlimited text messaging and I used it to it's full potential.

My sister is willing to pay extra just so she can type on her cell phone, but she also wants a computer microphone only so she can verbally communticate with her friends over instant messanger. WTF?

im no math scientest but i find that rather funny.

Okay, i pay 0.10 cents for every txt message i send. So if i sent 800,000 txt messages, i would get a phone bill of $80,000 dollars.

Therefore, your a really horrible liar, because there's no way you'd get a 400 sum dollar phone bill for all that. Not to mention that's impossible all those txt messages. Even ifyou typed one letter txt messages and all. <_<


Powtaz use to piss me off txting me all the time. I use to get mad because he'd get upset if i didn't reply, but i'm not running my damn bill up T_T lol. I hate txting to much. Only people i really do it to are Emma and my mom and a few on the side but not very often at all.

Powtaz, your such a lovable dork. Smile

I hardly ever use it. Heck, I hardly ever use my phone at all because its such a random little junky thing. I used to use it all the time when I still had my nice little dragon cover, but then the paint all came off. So it was back to the old boring red defauly Nokia cover for me. And I stopped using my phone. ^^

Cell phones are evil. We must destroy them all or they shall take over the world. Did you know that?

Lmfao.

We should all move to the Phillipines where text messaging is 1 peso per message. That's like 1/60 of a dollar. Not even two cents. Cool

(Sorry for double posting. Very Happy)

Dude... Chris... 800,000 messages is like...

25,806 messages per day.
1,075 messages per hour.
17 messages per minute.
0.29 messages per second.

That's if you continually text messaged from the beggining of the month, 31 days straight. WTF? I don't see how that's possible. :lol:

If you recieved a reply back and that counted too you're looking at something like:

12,903 messages per day.
537 messages per hour.
8 messages per minute.
0.14 messages per second.

A little bit more believable, yet still outlandish. :huh:

wow.....that's a lot of test messgaes

A person would die if you text message 800,000 messages a month. Human need to sleep, eat, do their business every now and then, and if you're busy text messaging, you wouldn't even have time to come here :ph34r:

Hehe! Yes, it is very cheap. Wink Calling someone would cost up to 10 pesos per minute, maybe even more. I'm not sure since I hardly call anyone, but I do know it eats a lot of phone card load. Text messaging is definitely better! Laughing
