I find it strange/amusing that it's taken so long for texting to take off properly in America. Any reason for that?

Love to see a gaggle of young hipsters come into a restaurant sit down at their table, and all just pick up their phones and sit in silence... why'd you even leave the f'ing house?

Data and text are separate, on Verizon, at least.

^^^ +1 to that, it's shocking over here man. Should also be noted that 2 degrees is the best of the bunch by some stretch.

i remember reading a forum about iphone contracts and costs comparing it between providers. i couldnt understand any of the american plans, they have so many things on them like off peak minutes and data and shite like that, in the uk it is just voice minutes, number of texts and mb of data for a basic plan.

are you saying you can get a contract phone without plans for texts etc? i can understand why you would get that if you literally never text anyone, but i dont think any providers here offer a contract with no text plan at all.
