I recently had a phone bill that charged me $.20 per text for 88 international texts to/from Nigeria. I called the carrier, and spoke with the customer service rep. She was able to see ALL of those texts. Yes Virginia, they ARE stored somewhere!

That being said, I think one of the reasons for Text Talk, is the 160 character limit on message size. You can say more in 160 characters if you abreviate. I STILL detest it. If I can't say it in 160 characters, I send an email; or better yet, pick up the phone.
