Texting is actually beginning to pick up here big time! But, it will
probably never be as big as it is down there. Primarily because, call
cost here are very cheap. We all have inclusive minutes and unlimited
nights and weekends to call anywhere in the US. So, it does not really
cost us anything to call each other. Also, it does not cost us extra to
call a land line VS a mobile. i.e. There is nothing like free incoming
calls here like you guys have for your mobiles(we do not diffeentiate
between mobile and land lines). But, we do have so many minutes that
it's not an issue.

Most carriers also have text plans though. But, still, people would
rather call than text. Why waste tiem typing on the phone when it does
not cost anything to actually call the person...as long as they are in
the US. About 90% of the textting I do is internationally, since it
obviously costs more to call international from the mobile.
