None, I don't even own a cell phone. Heck, I don't even talk on the phone!

Silence!!!! All youth between the ages of eight to 18 must observe complete and total silence between now and this time next week. This includes texting. Thanks much!

texts are only for school, they serve no purpose other than that

I don't; don't get any; I barely answer phone calls, and I never have set up my voice mail. To me, a cell is a device to use to locate somebody I lost in the megastore when I'm ready to head for the car.

LOL, Dan and I use ours in the mall. He goes one way and I go the other. Whoever is done first calls. I use mine when I go out of town, and when Dan is out of town we talk cell to cell. There's only 5 people that even have my number. And that is counting Dan.

I have no reason to text. I only hang out with my friends at school, sports, or 4-H, meaning I have absolutely no life whatsoever.

I run in the 500 to 1000 range. What's really sad is the fact that I'm not up there with my highly texting friends. They easilly kill the 1,000 mark.

Zero text. If I do by chance get a text, I call the person back and speak with them.
