    How many do you get a day?

    I'm pretty pathetic, I'm lucky if I get one, but not everyone's phone is buzzin every minute of the day!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 806 ✭✭✭Atrocity


    I usually send texts to myself, around ten a day maybe. It's handy, because I always know what to say in response

    The Pod send them to me every Thursday for Shindig which is usually €8, I just had to sign something in the club when the rep was going around..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Sometimes I can be texting someone all day and get 50 messages.





    Sometimes I go through droughts of none for a few days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,600 ✭✭✭Cutie18Ireland


    over 100 usually


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭Binomate


    I get about 1 every two days. Everyone who knows me knows that I don't text back when ever they text me so they just don't bother any more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭Umiq88


    anywhere between 20 and 60 depends


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭LadyJ

    So wierd....that'd drive me insane. Then again, if that were the norm, I'd be used to it I suppose.

    I get anywhere between 40 and 150 a day usually. Depends on my mood, but never less then 50.

    Explanation - girlfriend is addicted to texting, and we both on Meteor Free texts.

    When my girlfriends not around, usually maybe 15-25 a day.

    I'm just pretty terrible at having conversations via text, and yet slick at organising things. And just think of all the money I save :v:

    I'm pretty sure I save almost as much with permanent free Meteor to Meteor Texts :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,890 ✭✭✭embee


    Between 1 and 10 a day, but rarely more than that.

    How the hell do you get through 100 texts in a day?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭rugbug86


    it varies, have 2 phones, one purely for the free texts and that one gets loads of texts. my other one, maybe 5 or 6 a day or more if i get into a conversation wiht someone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 720 ✭✭✭Ravage1616


    Probably about 100. meteor and free texts, tis great!




  • It would annoy my head getting 100 texts a day. I find it really irritating when people spend their lives checking their phones and its just as annoying when I do it myself. I text people to make plans etc, not just to say 'what's up?' as many people seem to do. I only check my phone a few times a day, I don't want to feel ruled by it.

    It totally depends on the day, what plans I'm making and how many messages I've sent other people, anywhere between 1 or 2 to about 25.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 365 ✭✭dogg_r_69


    I reckon about 10 average a day


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    i will get about 5-10 texts a week at the most, i get more calls, much better than typing on a keypad too :)
    I'm pretty sure I save almost as much with permanent free Meteor to Meteor Texts :D

    these free text messages, are they for bill payers aswell as pre payers?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,181 ✭✭✭abercrombie


    i get 15+ messages a day! i'm forever texting


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,349 ✭✭✭nobodythere


    I cut down from about 65 a day to about 50 a day and started using texts for less important matters.

    Same here thank god for free 02 web texts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    I text way too much, average day, at least 15-20, coming up to a night out, double that, and after a night out, tripple that.

    I got meteor free texts for life and so do most of my friends and family so it doesn't cost me anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,915 ✭✭✭Siogfinsceal


    i freetext off vodafone website in work and usually get texts back

    You may have said this in jest, but I do actually recieve a number of texts from myself a day. I have this script setup to use the free texts that you can send from the web to let me know when things are fecked up on machines in work, etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 145 ✭✭Chavster


    mobile phones are the devil


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,648 ✭✭✭dundalk cailin


    here its too expensive to text home so only the odd one or so, use emailing, and msn ;)
    i realise now i spent way to much time texting when at home, i wouldnt mind having the meteor free texts for life cos at home i dont really be on the net


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 217 ✭✭Shinners21

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,648 ✭✭✭dundalk cailin

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭snappieT


    I prefer to make calls, if I think it'll cost me less (less than a 50 second call: something wrong if you can't say 160 characters in 50 seconds imo)
