Where's the either/or option? I can't vote coz I'm 50/50!

I'm on a plan, so off peak I'll call, and then during the day I text!! A lot of the time it's more convenient to send a quick text, but if the minutes are free, why not call?? 8)

Txting just takes too friggen long sometimes like when you're trying to hve a convo and your txtin 20 times to the same person to try and say what you want to.

I reckon just go to a land-line phone somewhere and ring up the person......heaps easier to say what you need to.

Alas, I am not on a plan :(
So to save money dont call people often, and if I do its only fo' a couple of secks ;) I mostly stick to txting.. at least that way I can afford it :D

Though, in saying that, txting massive conversations is pointless and stupid: so thats why im the random txt fairy :D

And yes, Ive been in that middle of nowhere with bugger all credit place too.. blows some massif goats when u dont have reception :?

aside from in my work (where i sit and talk on the fricken phone all day)

In the last 2 months I have not used the land line... not once...

got Über free mins but sometimes you don't want a conversation, you just want to tell that person something..... I find phone conversations arkward sometimes if you just called up to say one thing..it's like... so....umm...sweet...yeah...umm....

could have just sent a txt and then they can reply when they like...

can't store phone conversations on your sim card now can you?

the radio frequency emitted from cellphones in nz is lower than the international level for radiation (2 watts per kg). Its called 'non-ionising' so it passes through the body unlike regular radiation.

there is no scientific evidence to say that mobiles cause problems within the legal limit of radio frequency.

but if you're still paranoid, you can get a geek handsfree kit, but then you run the risk of, er, looking like a geek :?

in fact, somewhat similar to how i look right now...
