My last cellular bill had $12 of text messages on it. Now I'm a big fan of text messages being the most convenient thing ever, because I'm often in a loud room and I can't hear a word you're saying. Really, I don't want to talk to you anyway; I just want to know where I'm supposed to be in an hour. However, come on! Twelve freaking dollars? These messages probably take up less cellular traffic than a voice signal.

So when I'm sitting at my computer, and someone else is sitting at their computer and see me online, and they decide to send a text message to my phone which is in another room instead of just IM'ing me, yeah, I get a little annoyed.

Well, I broke down and added 250 text messages per month to my cellular plan. The customer service agent said I had 121 text messages last month, so this plan should cover me fine. I guess what I'm saying here is, I've moaned to friends in the past about this, but it's okay now. Text away.
