My phone plan gives me unlimited text, unlimited data and 300 minutes of talk per month for $25. Even if you talk for 5 seconds they charge you for a minute. So when a person in another department needs something done they text me. When I want to let my wife know I'm working overtime I text her with a message already preloaded into the phone. If I wasted a phone call on all of the little, repetitive tasks that I can text or be texted instead I'd burn through my minutes in the first week. So I may not be able to write or speak coherently but I have a pretty good grasp of economics. Those of you with wonderful vocabularies who drone on and on in high dollar talk plans made higher because you want to play Angry Birds when you aren't waxing poetic? I don't know.
Yes, you do have a good grasp of economics.
My husband and I are retired, so we use Skype for our main phone. When we travel we have a phone that we would would use only for an emergency.
However...If we were in still in business,** for certain**, we would be texting. Think of the time savings. How many times do I have to listen to a voice mail two or three times just to get the return phone number? It's irritating.
In your case it makes all the sense in the world. But how do you deal with someone like me who doesn’t carry a cell phone around with me at all times — and often has it turned off even when I have it with me?
