    I don't have unlimited texting either...

    Parents are such parents sometimes, right?

    Get unlimited texting, i had the same problem. Unlimited doesn't go over 15-20 bucks. Then text away.

    When your at home you can email your friends phones instead. If you have an ipod touch or sorts this would be easy. Also when texting try to say as much as you can in a single text, none of this back and forth non-sense. Try only texting when you NEED to talk to someone, or if you know your going to talk/text a lot call them instead, you can say some much more in a shorter and cheaper amount of time.

    Good Luck

    Geez just get off your d*mn phone LOL I know it's addictive but c'mon. BTW facebook is 1000x more addictive for people that socialize like that.

    I know you can e-mail Verizon accounts with thier vtext name. For instance: yourname@vtext.com. They have to have the Vtext set up though. Some other providers allow e-mail to text. Research a litlle.

    You could alse get a part time job to help pay for your phone bill. That might help them to say yes because it shows responsibility.

    its costs maybe 10, 15 dollars to buy unlimited texting. even for a family plan, it wouldn't break $50. go with that and you'll be scott free. have a good day,

    hope that helps
