do all phones have texting?

[train.]

I've got cingular and I had them turn off text messaging on mine and my wife's phone. They charge 10c a message whether it's incoming or outgoing if you don't buy the package plan and i'm a cheap bastard. I think if someone trys to text me it shows up as a page with their phone # but i've never bothered to check out if that's really the case. My daughter has texting on her phone so maybe I'll send myself a text from her phone to check it out.

edit: just texted myself from my daughter's phone and got nothing on my phone.

Just asked my roomate who works for Sprint...he said there are most definitely phones out there that can't text.

oh and just to add....texting a girl for the first time you initiate things with her instead of calling is ultra weak.

I'm a cheap bastard who doesn't have a phone plan that includes text messaging. All the phones on the plan are text capable, but none can send or receive messages. Maybe she doesn't want to be bothered with texting.

Isn't is standard that texting is pay per message? Why have it completely disabled unless you don't want to receive any? Doesn't seem to have anything to do with being cheap. I know I don't text that much, but sometimes I'll be in class or somewhere with low signal and texting is all that works.

My phone does not have Text messaging - it is about 6-7 years old.

Why should I pay for my kids to get 200 text messages a month? Cingular was charging me for received messages so I blocked all messages.

Ah yes, kids are stupid and will send/receive 20 texts rather than talking for 1 minute.

Replace kids with pretty much every woman I know and you're on the money. It annoys me so bad, especially since I didn't have a text message rate on my plan for the longest time.
