Are you addicted to texting?

[Mayne]

If there was only a way to talk to someone without having to type sentences on a tiny little keyboard on your phone.

Someone needs to invent this now.

No, I rarely text except to tell the boss I'm not coming.

Damn that looks interesting.

Well you can use your phones speech to text to write a text message.

its kinda annoying saying comma and period/question mark after you say something.

I switched to them and netcourrier after I got fucked by openmailbox. I switched to both because disroot is newish/small, and they could end up dicking me like openmailbox did. netcourrier's been around forever, so there's a level of stability. I like what disroot's doing though, and I give them money. It's a nice package, put together by people that believe in what they're doing. It wasn't started as a business per se, but they got a lot of openmailbox refugees, struggled briefly under the new load, and came out stronger.

tl;dr
I support disroot, but am hedging my bets :^D

NO! I wouldn't mind being from Iceland or Finland, but I'm 'Merican. Could be worse.

wait wait wait wait wait.... You account for punctuation when you text? Do you even spell out "you" instead of "u" ?

I do. The only substitutions I make are symbols for "at" and "and", and numbers in place of writing them out. Texting's just a lamer email, and I expect proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation(though I do drop the final period).

I like to text for stuff that's not super important, but for any real conversation I find it's easier to just talk.

What makes me laugh is text to speech apps, so one person will talk and it will send a text and then the other person's phone will interpret the text and talk. Isin't it easier to just pickup the phone and actually make a phone call at that point? lol. That or voice chat apps. Why use your data when you can just use voice call.

Its a work phone so kinda have to :~)

You gotta have friends and close family to text. I don't have either.
