With an Instant Message kinda thing on the computer? Yeah.

On a cell phone? No, That's about the most stupid thing I've ever seen. A lot of my friends text and I just don't get it. Hell, I don't even have a cell phone. Guess Im just an old soul.

Only with my GF.

Being male I was from the school of thought that said picking up a phone and calling somebody was a lot easier.

But I discovered texting has its place. You can carry on multiple conversations at once and it works great if you are busy.

Some people aren't on their computers all day, so they can't magically send a message over MSN or something when they're in the middle of town.

And sometimes phoning isn't the best option.

Hmm sounds good, but i have a contract on 02 now £25 for 500 txts and 200mins i think. Maybe orange is good now, but last year when i switched the deals were crap, and the staff unhelpful.

:| It's pointless? If you have unlimited text, it saves you minutes...you know...those things that cost extra if you use more than you're supposed to in one month?

I text all the time, and I live in the U.S. whoever told you that had no clue what they were talking about.
