This came up on another forum.

How much cell phone data do you use per month without tethering to your laptop and how many text message do you use?

It’s been two weeks into my plan and I have used 2120 text messages and 1.98GB of data.

when my work bought me a cell, they put me on a 500 txt per month package.

I was unaware of this and sent about 7300 texts. The bill was over 1000 dollars. HA. After that they put me on unlimited.

I just got my daughter a phone and wisely opted for the unlimited texting. These kids piss me off with all the texting. I have literally walked into a room where 3 of them are texting each other grrr…
