    If you tend to text a lot, unlimited is the best way to go. Can't tell you how many times I've seen folks call up fuming about the text message overages because little Johnny is going nuts with his cell phone at school.

    I have had it disabled since it ever started. I don't need to text and drive.

    No, I have to take my glasses off to read real close and need to have them to drive. Cannot stand bifocals.

    Texting and such things on computers are major distractions and you can watch drivers go all over the road when they are doing it. Really makes for a safe time when they are doing it.

    Just because someone has the feature, doesn't mean they're doing unsafe things. My phone is usually out of reach (have headset on for calls) while I'm on the road.
