This is primarily why I don't send text messages. I'm not interested in paying the brutally and arbitrarily high cost for the privilege of typing with my thumbs.
I actually can now, because my voicemail and call display services recently got switched into a bundle that also includes text messages, which means they essentially gave me text messaging for free. It's not unlimited, but it's far more than I'd ever send in a month -- I think it's 100 or so. I haven't sent that many text messages since I got my phone a year and a half ago.
I really don't understand it. I know most of my friends are using text messages for practically everything now. I find it odd that actually expecting to speak to someone on my phone is being old-fashioned.
