ok.. i admit it , my name is emily and i am a text msg addict. I broke down and got myself a blackberry 2 yrs ago so i could have a full keyboard to use , before that i could text on my phone without looking at the keys. ( i knew exactly how many times to hit the keys for each letter) am i alone people??? who else is a texter???
i mean seriously my honey and i live on text msgs right now , with both our jobs we cant talk alot during the day.

You hate talkingn to??!!! I thought I was the only one...thank God I'm normal.
To be honest, I feel that this texting business really isolates you. Sometimes I think we need to "talk" more and be more on a person to person level. I miss it sometimes. I usually prefer to text though...weird!

That explains it. I would feel the same way. I really am going to try to talk more often. The problem is also with contest prep - you barely have a moment to breathe - every second is taken up. When you get on the phone you can't say two sentences and hang up so you think about -- and texting is quicker and more effective. Nonetheless, I know something is lost.

I text all the time! Used to doing cardio on the stairmill now that's talent! U can't hold onto the rails so do something with your hands right? Also with my job and my honeys better to text can't talk much! But at nite when we can talk we do!
Texting whore here ever since I got my crackberry from work...the CURVE is way better than any other than I've had.
Since prepping, I would MUCH rather text than chat...depending on my mood of course! :)

I used to be a consultant at a telecom company. And I have been texting ting since the late 90's. However for the life of me, I still am very slow texting or typing msges. I have 3 blackberries 2 or 3 pda's and probably a few hundred cell phones. Great thing about GSM phones you can put the sim card in it and use a diffferent phone everyday like wearing diff. clothes. A little heads up to T-Mobile subscribers, you can send sms or test messages from you email addresses and it will not use up your bucket of messages if you don't have unlimited sms bundles. Type the phone number like this ex. 3015551212@tmomail.net So if you are on the net and have to text someone, open another window and text through email. Another option.
NOt me I'm like the flash ;)

I have been a texting addict for years now. I txt so fast people can't keep up with my answers and they finally call me! Its just easier when I am at work. I hate always putting friends/family on hold while I answer radio or take calls or walk ins. It easier to txt, answ phones, and help people in lobby all while txting!:D Shelly I have the black berry pearl. Got it for Christmas. I love the camera, and the real internet. The keys are real small so its hard to get use to, and there are 2 letters per key, so you find that you are always having to check your words. The phone will also try to figure out what word you are using and sometimes it a real pain. It also has a tendancy to lock up when sending pic messages..overall, not a bad phone though...

Hey! That's not a bad idea. I will have to keep that in mind when I'm back to 2 hours/day soon! Although, I don't know if I will be doing cardio QUITE that early!
I usually don't even bring my cell in the gym because I despise people that seem to just come to the gym to make phone calls...LOL...but I think I could make an exception. I just got a Rumor too!

ok...i have a major dilema.
this is the deal, im elligible for a discounted phone rate. i can right now go down to the Verizon store and pick up an enV for like $30. then next friday go and buy and XBox 360 (which i have been wanting for a while.) OR i can wait til next friday and buy a Blackberry Pearl that would end up costing me like $150 and not be able to get my XBox for another month....urgh. the thing is i have a LG VX5200 that works perfectly fine, its just old, and not flashy
well i've heard the enV is a good phone :)
so unless u r gonna put the blackberry to good use i would go that route! then u get ur xbox oo which it sounds like u would enjoy more??
Bernie
04-26-2008, 06:14 PM
funny thing is, yesterday i was all gung ho about picking up the green enV. but i go to track practice and one of my female throwers was all excited about her new phone......a green enV. and im that guy who doesnt like having the same things as someone i know. if i get something and then someone else buys it....cool. but i dont like being the follower.....

I was in the same boat B... when the Rumor came out I really wanted the black one with the blue, but when I went to get it someone else wanted it as well, so I let him get it and I got the white one instead. I saw now there is a green one out :pout:

LG usually carries a one year warranty on their products. so you may be able to go through them if you have had it less then a year.
plus you have a great smile, im sure you could pull something off.....especially if you find a weak minded male to influence.
and that is a coinencidance i used to be a good person like you are now.

Sending SMS through email is very, very easy.
If you know the correct email address, you can also send these messages to a cellular phone. Here are the email addresses for the 6 most popular cellular phone carriers:
T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com
If you don't know the phone carrier for the cell phone number you are attempting to call, you can try this universal service.
Teleflip.com now provides this wonderful service. To use teleflip just email the SMS message to the following email address:
1112223333@teleflip.com
Just replace 1112223333 with the cellphone number that you want to receive the SMS message.
With this service, you no longer have to remember the complex email format that each individual cell company uses. Remember that many cellphone users are charged for incoming SMS messages... so be polite.
