Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Average number of text msgs you get a day

I absolutely abhor talking on the phone. Hate it.

I don’t mind texts. I can do with them as I please.

Read em or ignore.

0.5 unless one of my yacky sisters fires up the family group texting to plan something or the hunting group is active.

Me too!

Zero to maybe zero point 1.

Maybe half call per day. Maybe.

2-3 texts per day on average
Most are meaningful
I get 10 plus phone calls a day that I don’t answer
If you’re not in my phone directory, I’ll never answer
Leave a message please

Maybe 10 per week at the most; and once in a while I even text someone, like if I wanna reach my son or step daughter who never answer their phone but always return a text message promptly.

<1 average, and then only when my wife is a talking mood and I'm not home.

4-5 a week


People who know me know that they need to talk to me, not message me.

80% of my text work related. Maybe even more. Loud and big factory......only way to get info passed in timely fashion.


Could be two texts a day at work.....a couple from kid or ol lady. Could be dozens from each

Today i have had zero so far.....but am heading in

This, except my count is about 1 per month.

I look at and delete all of my emails about once every ninety days. If you want to talk to me, you know where I live.

Texting constantly while fishing—might have 3 or 4 boats out—way more private than VHF radio.

Depends on who's drinkin and who ain't.

Depends on how many women I'm courting. some days I can have 100 texts and some days its half that many.

I win old telecom technology bragging rights for however much that counts in peoples minds....
Just gotta let the line go limp and I don't have ta deal with schitttt.

1st in things that dont count.
Whooptefuggingdo........




Mike drop......

One is too many!
Have people lost the ability to talk?
That phone thing will actually transmit sound, you know

just depends what i have going on.

Average probably runs less than one a day...

Didn't like them when they first came out but was forced to deal with it for work. Shortly after I was with the program. Get back when/if you can, don't listen to long drawn out conversations where 5% of them is all you needed to hear. Now that the only work is what I feel like doing I don't get as many average maybe a dozen no more than 50.

Yes. Text is a gift from God.

I think it was around 2007 or so that I just didn't get it. Seemed like regression in communication. But after BlackBerry's became an every day work item I was on board.

Makes time management 1,000 times easier. And if something is urgent it's nothing to type out a simple answer and resolve the issue as opposed to standing up, walking out and taking a call.

People that use voicemail should be beaten to death.
