  • I Know Everyone Can Relate To This

    I just got home after a loooong day at school, and my mom and sister told me to take a look at my phone bill. Now, I never talk on the phone, so I knew I didn't go over my minutes, so I was wondering why. I can use up to 500 text message, and I went over and used around 1,500. Now I owe $116 just for text messaging and $186 total! I mean, I'm at school with long breaks, I get bored. I'm in 2 and a half hour classes, I get bored. I text people, people text me - it helps me get through my day. Same with work. But, daaaaaaaamn. I was angry, and I just started working, and there goes all my money. Before I can even save up for stuff I want/need, I gotta throw it to text messaging! I know a lot of people who get charged for a couple hundred bucks for their minutes, but mine would never be this high. But I can see why. It sucks. I'm mad, lol. I feel like canceling my phone. Either that or I gotta get another job, but I'm already busy as hell as it is. Only free time out of the week is Sundays. Every other day I'm working or at school - the whole day.

    I needed to vent.

    I will never feel sorry for anyone that sent 1500 text messages in a month.... that's like 50 a day. Sounds like you need instant messaging on your phone (Internet) instead of SMS... it might be a lot cheaper that way.

      Don't wanna feel sorry for me? Lol, that's fine. It's just that during school, I'm there from 8am-10pm. You know, there's not a lot to do when you're at a new school where you have little friends. And the friends you have aren't in your classes and you don't see them during your breaks.

      And for work, I'm there from 3pm-9pm. Just sitting back, literally, and watching workers work on our school projects. I'm supposed to be supervising, but I spent last night reading "Curious George" out of bordem.

        I am sooooooo tempted to do one of those "When I went to school ... " speeches but I promised myself I'd never do that when I got to be "old"

            I refuse to own a cell phone. It's worked out pretty good for me so far.

              1500 text messages is a pretty large number...

              Do you happen to go to a really "on-the-cutting-edge" type of school where they offer wi-fi, or any other type of wireless connectivity for wireless laptop users?

              If so then get a laptop and wi-fi or wireless card and IM ppl all day w/o spending a dime ... except for matriculation fees of course!

              Perhaps an easier solution is to pay for unlimited text messaging in your existing cell phone plan. Then you could get one of those mini keypad IM pager dealies that all the rappers have. Attach it to your belt like a fanny pack and you're good to go!

                I used to be in school as much as you. That's no excuse to text message a thousand people. Your excuse is similar to those fools who watch MTV and always complain of boredom. Sit down, read a phucking book, or read the book for your class that was assigned. People who complain of "boredom" while they clearly have alot of shyt to do I cannot sympathize with. So from now on you know that earning money is a hard thing and it doesn't fall to you, and I hope you prioritize your cell phone usage.

                  A book? There's only so many books you can read. You expect me to read every second while I'm on my long breaks. I'm not saying I'm texting/calling people left and right, but people text me and that charges too. My bill said I had more received texts than send texts. I told people to chill out and stop sending so many, but shiiit, everyone's against me here.
