Dude, you dodged a bullet. Earlier this year my 17 y-o stepdaughter, after PLEADING with her mom and me to add her cell phone to our family plan because it was so much cheaper than having her phone on an individual plan, proceeded to crank out not quite four thousand text messages in her first month of service. Texting was not included in our family plan. I could have bought a nice telescope for what that month's cell phone bill came to. Now I hear news stories of kids who regularly send ten thousand messages per month and don't see what the fuss is. JEEZ, PEOPLE - PUT DOWN THE &!*@! PHONE AND GET A LIFE! -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Chuck Hards Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 3:00 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Kids texting I just paid my current cell phone bill. It's a good thing that I have unlimited texting for everyone in the house. Last month my daughter managed to send over 6,500 texts! How does she find the time to eat, sleep, or attend class? She moves more data than Telstar. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://gallery.utahastronomy.com Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
