I don't have vision on my phone anymore, so it charges me 10 cents for every text message I send OR receive. I used to text a lot when I had two free months of vision, but I quickly stopped. It was mostly to send texts during school to one of two friends that I don't get to see very often.

I talk on my phone MUCH more than I text. I never text. I'm not too thrilled with paying for text messages, so I don't. My family of 4 has to split 300 minutes during the day, which is from 7am to 7pm, during the week. So, that's 75 minutes for me. However, we get the bill back, and I've used maybe 1 minute of peak time. We get free PCS to PCS phone calls and a lot of my friends have PCS phones and my family, of course, do. Anytime past 7pm during the week and all the time on the weekends is unlimited. I talked probably 2000 minutes, possibly more!, on my unlimited time. I talk to my boyfriend for an hour, at least, almost every night because he lives in PA and I don't get to see him. And then I have the few odd phone calls that only last a few minutes. Oh, and we don't have roaming charges. If we had to pay for roaming, we'd be WAY in the hole because Sprint often loses signal from their own towers.
