RESPONSE>> Talk about text messaging.

People text as often as they make phone calls these days.
* make a phone call: 전화를 걸다.
* text: 문자, 문자를 보내다.
ex> Let's text each other when we're ready to leave.

Text messaging is a very fast and efficient way of getting your message across.
* get one's message across: 메시지를 전하다.
ex> Email is more efficient than ordinary mail.

The other person will get it instantly.

Longer ones, or ones with pictures and video clips attached, are called MMS.
* MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service): 장문 문자 메시지

Some people can text super fast without even looking at their phones.

One annoying thing about text messages is that you get spam texts.

I just delete them immediately and block the number.
ex> Did you block my number on your cell phone?
