How many texts do you use in a month?
Mr Cable

I'm not trying to start a fight here, honest, but I was just wondering how many texts you use in a month?

Also - and this is the controversial bit - how many texts, IN YOUR OPINION, would you say is 'excessive'?

I don't think I use that many at 150-200 a month (but I do average 40 or so MMS each, only 'cause they're included, mind )

When I first got T-Mobile I used close to 3000 of my free texts a month but this died down to about 1000 and now about 200/300 as I've just lost interest and can't be bothered anymore. I hate having full convos by text as well. My gf sits there for ages texting her mates and I just cant be bothered with it.

Battery lasts a hell of a lot longer too lol

I get 300 free every month, I usually use about 200 to 230 of them. Sometimes I'll only use 100. It depends really, a lot of the time I speak over MSN and don't need to text as much these days.

27 or 28 textes I can send in a month. Sometimes more sometimes less. I also get 25 free text a month with 02 treats. I only send 1 or 2 textes if im away on holiday for a few days.

500 plus a month but only because my partner and i have to spend a lot of time apart because of work and the kids have left home and gone off to far flung places and its the cheapest way of keeping in touch. only around 10 mms.

I use around 900 texts a month, not too bad i guess.

I would say over 100 a day is over the top.

ATM i have one of those Sim cards O2 were sending out for free. So if, for example, i were to top up £10 today i'd get:

£10
£1 free
£1 for free in 3 months
300 texts for free
1MB internet

That would be from 20th May-20th June and in that time i'd use 200ish of the free texts and all the internet (As i have acess to the 'real' internet via Opera Mini Browser).

I never phone people on my phone so i'd have £11 left at the end of it to keep me going for a wee while longer till i can top up again!

ATM i have 72p.....With a free £1 coming on 4th July

I have days when I send loads of texts, days when I send 1 or 2 and days when I dont text at all. But I have the free evening and weekend texys from T-Mobile and according to my account online I've used just over 1000 out of 999999 lol

When I was seeing someone last year, I used to send and receive approx 1000 texts a month just to that one person alone. Since he decided to piss off and flirt with a married woman, I now average around 300 (none of which are to him though )
