Texting is Crap.

[Shadow Man]

Although a big fan of gadgets, I couldn't give a monkey's knacker about mobile phones. In fact the only reason I have a newish one is because of coverage in my area and the company insisted on an upgrade.

Further I have sent abot two texts in my life. Without sounding like an old fart, I really do not know how to on my phone.

I think texting is a complete waste of time. If you have something to say, then telephone them. What I have seen of texts is utter nonsense.

Also they can cause more harm than good. People can misunderstand the content, feel "let down" when they do not receive one back and there is a difficulty in when to actually break off such communication.

However, I am fully aware that adults use them just as much as children.

May I respectfully ask you to print the last text you received (obviously missing out any profanity or personal detail) in order to prove my point.

Or if proved wrong, enlighten me to this relatively new joy that millions of Brits enjoy.

shadow, if you are on a contract phone then maybe your not getting value for money if you are not using it much, a lot of contract phones only suit high volume callers and texters..

My daughters contract only allows her to phone after 7pm,so texting is vital for her.
