not so silly when you consider that my daughter and i live in a very small apartment, and she texts me from her room... its too much trouble for her to either find me and talk, or yell from her room...

How old is she? I would take her mobile phone away

We recently added unlimited texting to our family trading (and stepped down some in total minutes), and I just got my new phone with a full QWERTY keypad (flips both ways, its pretty sweet), so I now do a lot of texting because its just easier. Atleast a couple per day when I would have made a call instead.
The thing I don't like about it is that before we had that plan, it would cost 25 cents to send or receive a message, and there was no way to prevent receiving texts, so someone could have just spammed me and ran my bill up if they wanted to.

That is absolutely crazy! Here, we have 4 mobile networks. With my current plan, I pay 20EURO a month (30$US) and get unlimited texts to other people on the same mobile network. And I can still use that 20EURO for making calls. Otherwise its 9c (0.13US$) to send a text message. Thats the first case I've heard of being charged to receive texts though....
Irish mobile phone users sent 1.89 billion text messages in the third quarter of 2007 according to new figures.
The figures released by ComReg also show that there were 114 mobile phones for every 100 people in Ireland.
1.89 BILLION!!! Now take into account the population of Ireland is only 4.3million.... Thats a lot of text messages in 3months.......
Funny, I was seeing a girl that sent me over 150 text messages in a week and a half! I absolutely hate texting now. If someone texts me, I usually just call 'em.
