    I hate when people don't have iPhones simply because their phone number shows up on text message logs on my bill.

    And then my husband knows who I'm talking to.

    Ruins everything.

    Duh...just use kik

    But anyone can see how much data the app uses, and then from there make crazy assumptions.

    So only kik while on wifi?


    Edit: This wizard up here^

    You don't need to use kik, you can use google to call or text.

    So last April fools I made a google number which can call or text. Than I text people cat facts every 15 minute with an option to cancel, and when they cancel I tell them, thanks for confirming and keep sending them cat facts until I get board.

    There's an app for it now that makes it much easier.

    I use an old deactivated iPhone with imessage that doesn't have a phone number associated with it. The only people who have my phone number are telemarketers apparently.

    At least you're not using third grade technology.

    Third grade technology, 2 tin cans connected by a string?

    I don't text. If you have something you need to talk about, call me. Even then, you've got about 30 seconds to get through the "How do you do's?" and get to the topic at hand. Not a fan of small talk. If you just want to hang out call me. I'll meet you anywhere and enjoy your company.

    As a matter of fact, I turned my phone off on 8/14 as we were boarding a plane for Vegas. Haven't turned it back on yet.

    Phone calls are for those you "really" care about and that will have enough courtesy to not keep you on the line too long, texting is for everyone else.

    If its business I call. If its for a lady and I want a date or trying to impress phone call is always more personal. If its buddies or the boys, txt is just fine.

    Back in the day, I always used to respond a couple hours late. It drove the ladies nuts. But they were intrigued. And I always came up with creative excuses.

    Of course, I had a learning curve and I learned texting immediately is considered the dude is desperate. Games? I am more adept at mind games, sisters!

    I never call anyone on the phone anymore. Except my wife, broccoli and my mother. Sometimes my boss or the pizza delivery shop.

    maybe it was just you, in general, that drove them crazy

    You're very wise for only 158 posts!! The force is strong with you!

    damnit! getting my post count higher is not cool, but i just couldn't hold it back any longer

    I disagree. People who really care about me text me. People who don't care about me like bill collectors call me. That is why for a long time my ring tone was the "your a jerk" song.

    I see your out of prison, congratulations.

    The only time I'll call someone is if we're meeting in a public space and I can't find them. Talking on the phone seems pointless beyond that. If we need to discuss something at length, I'd rather do it face-to-face. Texting suffices for everything else.
