Some days you just feel very old!! Today seems to be one of those days. You know it might not be your greatest day when.......
-your 6 year old grandaughter suggests that you need to "go on a diet to get a little ....taller!" and you have to admit that she has at least half a point.
-your 4 year old grandaughter asks "Don't old people know how to text?".... and she is completely right!
Well, it isn't so much that we don't know how, it's just that we don't quite get the point. If text messaging had come first and then we suddenly had the ability to call somebody and just talk right into the phone, wouldn't just be the greatest?!?
So here's the question...... Should I really be looking for a phone plan that takes away my 3000 minutes a month of talk time but gives me free texting? If so, what plan do you suggest, and what is the cost?
What have you found to be the best balance? Are most of your clients, customers, service providers and co-workers using text routinely?
For that matter, if I am going to change plans anyway, how important is it to cash in my Palm Z72 and go to a Trio, Blackberry, or some other system that I haven't even heard of yet? To this point I have said that I don't really want to sit in every meeting with one eye on the screen of a little hand held device of some sort. Am I really giving up a great deal of business because it sometimes takes me more than three minutes to reply to an email?
How much is too much when it comes to being instantly available all the time? Is it rude to be reading text messages under the table when you are supposed to be taking a listing?
Grandmas everywhere probably want to know. But don't text us the answer; We think we're doing pretty dang great to be blogging!
