Text messaging is much more popular than you apparently think it is.
Most people I know back home in the US do not text very much and they tend to be not used to it when I text them. Just the fact. Nobody in Europe reacts that way in my experience.

BTW using 10,000 messages per month is over 300 per day - and if you are awake for16 hours a day, that is 20 per hour or one every three minutes - mesages SENT, not even recieved. It is a wonder you have time to do anything else. Not just phone calls, but work, or even play. Assuming it is true at all.

Also I have no idea about messages received - they are free here, not billed and I dont count them.
