Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I came late to texting. While I got my first cell phone in 1995, it was one of those clunky Motorola ones where you had to tap the right combination of numbers for every letter. I found that a PITA. However, I remember visiting Ireland in the late 90s and seeing my 20 something relatives all texting away at a furious speed. I don't know how they did it. The Blackberry keyboard is what got me started on texting. I do not find screen only phones to be as ergonomic, so I do most of my texting from my iPad.
Have you noticed that people are opting to text when it is faster to call? DW usually calls the person after a several round of instant texting. I love that about her.
