>I could never get away with texting only from Facebook. My daughters are still both on my phone plan even though they don't live here any more. They send and receive hundreds of texts a month with their phones. In fact, like most of their generation, they are far more likely to text than make a phone call. The horror, the horror.

We gave our daughter a phone when she was 10-11 years old (3 years ago) and two days after she got it we called to change her plan to unlimited text messaging, and if it weren't for that move, I am sure I would be working a second job to pay for her cellphone!

Once she was away and we wanted to talk to her, and we called her several times without success, until finally she texts us "What do you want?" to what I texted back 'I WANT YOU TO STOP TEXTING AND ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE!", she called us within seconds :)
