Other than SMS, people still use IM?
I refuse to pay for a texting plan you insensitive clod!
More so, why would I when I can do various messaging services from my phone via the data plan I'm already paying for? Anyone who needs to contact me has been taught that if they text me... I will yell and demand they pay me $0.25 per text sent... and that IM (or better yet email) is the best way to catch me.
None the less... you speak like a person who is... 25+? While SMSing used to be all the rage of the cool kids in Jr & Sr high... it later moved to Facebook messaging... and even now to 'other' IM services which are less obvious to parental inspection and even more 'cool'.
Judge not the world you do not understand ye still young'in who thinks they understand the world!
