For some reason or the other the use of phones in NY is very limited. The reasons are several such as terrorist scare, extremely tall buildings and open market competition to name the most apparent. Still this does not discourage the locals from extensively trying to use phones. I have only been here three month but I have already resigned since there is little meaning in trying to call people. You might get through on one call out of five. It is just not worth the effort. Texting on the other hand has with the introduction of I-phones become equally hard. I-phone users have stopped viewing the text-message as unit but rather a chat and can resort to sending meaningless text-messages like: "Hi Robert" or "Hey, How are you?" When readers of this blog already know that they are not meaning this as a question but rather a way of greeting. If this is unknown to you you can read more here.
That conversation can be quite irritating for someone paying for each incoming text-message and strange for anyone with a normal phone that will not display the texts as a conversation.
There is a meaning in greeting someone who you do not want to strike up a conversation with when you meet them to say "I see you, I recognize you" but half way around the world? Really? No.
