I Hate It When Someone Doesnt Text Back

Well, people will be waiting quite a while if they're waiting for me to text them back. I don't text. I don't have a smartphone. Don't want one, although they do have great cameras and the photos look terrific.
I'm one of those people who still has a flip phone. I can receive texts, as I do sometimes from my kids. But sending them, NO. Now I will admit I have sent an OK, a YES, or a time, but a message, NO.

I don't like smartphones. I rarely text using my old flip-style phone. People say they like text because of the 'immediate' response. Isn't answering a phone actually quicker in terms of response? One side benefit of never texting is that on the off chance I do, people know it must be important.

Sadly, I may be forced into a smart phone because many of the services around me (parking, commuter rail) actually charge more if not using the smartphone apps for payments.
