How often do you text your friends?

What difference does it make? Same phone for both anyway.

43 with two young kids and I text good friends and my siblings regularly. I still use email but not as much as texting.

Only text if time sensitive

I'm 38

I'm also 38, text all the time, & have since I was about 23 or so. Texting has been included most cell phone plans for the majority of our adult lives, PP!

So it's a little opposite... All my 45+ friends text but 30-45 don't.

The women with young kids I know all text.

36. I almost exclusively text with my friends as we all have small kids and tend to respond during those random 30 secs of quiet . Email just takes a tiny smidge longer and is more likely to get interrupted by tiny people.

I'm 40, and I generally text, use Facebook, or see friends in person. Almost never email or telephone. I text about 10 people weekly if not more (sometimes engaging in longer conversations) and about 30-50 on more of a monthly rotation, often just a quick, hey I saw this and thought of you. Tons of quick conversations with friends in Facebook comments.

I'm 44 and I text more than any other form of communication. I hate the phone and emails get too easily lost in my inbox. But I'm not someone who will text dozens of times a day like a few people I know. For me, it's more about "hey Jane - are you free Friday night for HH?" or "Hey Jennifer - saw your boyfriend The Rock on the cover of People. " It's mostly quick exchanges until I see them again in person.

Same here. 40-something.

Ditto. 38.

I'm 38 & most people I know who are mid-40s or younger relay these kind of messages by text as opposed to calling or emailing.

Same here except I am in my late 20s.
