My phone is used almost exclusively for texts. All the family and friends do it (and it's the only way to contact one nearly-deaf cousin, as she never hears the house phone). Our rates are such that texts are much less expensive than calls. It's so much faster and more efficient in getting information across!

Oh, yes. It is very helpful when you cannot get someone on the phone otherwise (like when they are talking on their phone). Also I can see a text when in a meeting and my phone is on silence. Sometimes you just need to see a message quickly.

Heck no! I have a basic cell phone for emergencies. Our home phone does not call outside of town. We live in the boonies and have cut alot of the frivilous charges out. We DO have the basic DISH and enjoy the freebies that are offered each month. By cutting down we are able to take short trips when we want to.
