<p>The ability of teens to text exceeds normal adult comprehension. At one point last year D was sending and receiving over 3000 messages per month. We asked her to curb it, because even with her typing at well in excess of 100WPM (she really pulls it off!!!) it felt like too much.</p>
<p>BTW, unlimited texting plans are not that expensive. Our AT&T plan gives unlimited texting to ALL plan members for $30. Unlimited texting for a single member is $20. The side benefit is that D responds almost instantaneously to text messages, but almost never to phone calls. She readily admits that she would rather loose the ability to make phone calls than the ability to text.</p>
