Amount of SMS messages you use monthly?

[JFSikora]

I hear a lot of people complain about the keyboard on the iPhone. I have learned to type faster on the iPhone than on any physical keyboard I've ever used. So we want to know, just exactly how many SMS messages you go thru a month. It can include incoming and outgoing...

I am a heavy texter and use anywhere from 3000-6000 a month on average. And the most I've used was 10,000... yes that is not a typo.


How about you?

I'm roughly around 1300 a month.

10K is impressive!

Look into Klear Screen... great cleaning polish. Silky smooth. Even does a good job shiny the back of the phone up. [Does not make it greasy - just clean]

3000 a month! Yikes. I use 100 in a big month.

I considered myself a heavy texter at 1200 but you have more than doubled that. Wow. I have also gotten used to the keyboard and can type just as fast if not faster than on a physical keyboard. It took me about a month and a half to learn but it's all smooth now

I text way more (300 so far this month) than I ever have. I find it very easy on the iPhone (although my last phone was a regular flip phone and not nearly as easy). I even prefer the portrait keyboard to the landscape version. In the landscape version, the keys are too far from each other and I find I make more mistakes.

Zero. That's why I have a "phone"... so I don't have to type like my ancestors did in the 1860s.

For emailing, I type a lot faster and more accurately in portrait mode than in landscape. Landscape requires too much thumb movement, and the rows are too close together. I don't know why people want it.

Texting is far easier to do with most people I know. Quick and to the point. Especially if the person I am texting is at work or in class. Just depends on the situation. Heck even my job uses texting a great deal to communicate. Generally it's the older folks who don't text as much... I'm sure this is not the case in all situations but yeah, I said *generally.
