The Joy of Texting


My favorite thing about the iPhone is probably texting. It is so easy to send texts. I love the keyboard and the speed that you are able to type in it. No more hitting one key 3 or 4 times to get the right letter. Also, none of the T9 input BS. It's also cool how it has 2 way text messaging. I thought that was pretty cool when the Hiptop and Sidekick came out a long time ago. Texting on the iPhone is even better though. The only problem that I have found is that sometimes if you are having a conversation with someone and going back and forth very fast, you might get an error message and a text wont go through. This seems to happen only when you send one and the very same moment you receive one. Not a big deal.

Basically when I had a regular cell phone, I might have sent 50 texts a month. At 15 cents a message, thats $7.50. Then I added the 100 text messages plan for $5 a month. I still probably sent about 50. Now that I have the iPhone, I am armed with 2500 texts a month with my Fido value pack. Not that I would ever send 2500 in month and I can't believe people actually do, but I do send way more now. I've been sending an average of 500-600 a month since I got my iPhone. Here's what was on my bill: 558 sent, 496 received!

How many do you send each month?

I have a similar experience with the error message. I thought it was just my phone. It didn't really happen much when I first started texting but now I can text really fast with my iphone. I hated sending text msgs before because it took me forever! So many people I know have iphones or are getting iphones in Canada.

Yeah must be the texting super fast, the network can't handle so many texts at once!
