Text messaging

I have been configuring my My LJ page (very nifty feature) and am debating whether to enable the text messaging option on my account. Do you use it? How has your experience been? Am text messaging neophyte (heck, I am a technological dinosaur who has been mostly dependent on e-mail); do enlighten me. Worth it, or needless hassle? In what situations do you find it useful?
