But, let's say you want to ask a person a question and you know when they get on the phone they'll want to tell you about their whole life.

Which they do everytime you talk to them.

I guess in that situation, I'd text the question rather than have to listen again to the whole life story.

Just my .02

I agree...great for silencing long talkers. It's also helpful if you can't really talk without drawing attention. I text people all the time in meetings, which really comes in handy for coordinating things if you can't blatantly talk to someone or pass a note. It was great at the GOP convention. With all of the background noise, talking on the phone was impossible. Some of us had a system where if we wanted to meet someone, we would just send a message "20" (as in 10-20) as a request, and then the recipient would reply with their location.

Excellent use of the text msg.

Sometimes when my wife and I are in a large store and are looking in different areas....we'll send *20* to ascertain where the other is.

Great fun sometimes.....I'll say I'm in the ladies underwear section, then I'll stand back and watch her come running...hahahaha
