As soon as they get up in the morning, during school, after school, when they're doing homework, etc. Texting is more convenient than making a phone call nowadays (at least for the young people). Dialing a number may only happen if they need to call a parent (and when do teens ever want to talk to their parents). Teens text ALL the time.

Plus, I'm curious about how it has altered the old habit of marathon phone calls with best friends. Interesting!
