all the time! We had to go with a plan that had unlimited texting....three kids with phones! So we text because they will reply when you text! Dh and I text each other too. When he's at work its the easiest way to let him know something or ask him where something is. I have been known to throw the phone across the car though when they text me when they KNOW I'm driving! I cannot see to test while I'm driving.
