1,115. That’s the combined total of text messages that I sent or received during my last billing period. Thank goodness for unlimited messaging plans, right? Here’s what I attribute that total to:
7. USA Network. I’m signed up for updates on Monk and Psych, enough said.
6. ChaCha. A great service with an answer for almost everything and twice as many ads.
5. Google. Another great SMS service for weather, prices, etc.
4. NY Times. Breaking news alerts without having to be constantly checking the site.
3. Facebook. It only gets annoying when one of the friends to whom you’re subscribed starts changing his or her status every 15 minutes.
2. Windows Mobile 6.1. Threaded messages are the best thing that ever happened to messaging. It’s like instant messaging, only better.
1. A real phone. I have a Samsung Blackjack II, which has a full qwerty keyboard, which means I don’t have to use some lame T9 dictionary.
I’d be interested to see how your text message amount compares with Hannah’s.
