Daily Life - Text Me (C0358)

A: Why didn’t you text me last night?

B: What? I sent you three or four messages!

A: I didn’t get any of them. I was waiting for you to

text me the address of where the party was and I

never got your message.

B: Why didn’t you just call? I hate sending SMS messages.

A: Well, because I didn’t have any credit on my

phone. I used it all up this month.

B: I thought you had an unlimited SMS plan?

A: I do, but if I don’t have any credit in my phone, it

won’t let me call or send messages.

B: No wonder you didn’t get my texts!
