Before 2000 or maybe 2000. I was addicted too. real hard. thats why i was really amaze when i came here in US in 2000 that there are no smart phones yet well we call it nokia in my country Lol. i even remember my sis said that texting will never be a hit in US Coz people
here have actually a life.LOL. and now her kids are addicted to texting.
When i came here in 2000 i was already over my text addiction.
First text was possibly in 2001 (at 10 cents per message), but it was probably 2003-4 before I got a text/MMS plan. My primary use was using MMS to e-mail my camera phone pictures to myself.
I had my first cell phone in 1998, but not too sure if I actually sent a text message before 2003. My first phone was a Nextel, so I always used the "beep" walkie-talkie feature until I got a different phone in 2003.
yeah texting craze in US came waaaaay later. if u read the link philippines was mentioned. i even read that we were the texting capital of the world coz that's how crazy we were in texting in the 90s... and nokia made loads of money on us. nokia was our iphone/android back then. yes they have phone cams and we send pics and all that.
