Texting apps/battery life

[AliBabyBoo21]

Do texting apps drain your battery more then regular texting? Or is it the same? Please help

Texting apps as in what? Handcent? Go SMS? Explain...

Overall I don't believe it will really have much of an effect. There are way worst battery killers out there than our texting styles/habits.

I wouldn't say the apps (sms apps) drain your battery usage -- texting with high frequency and keeping the screen on for extensive periods of time to text would be the culprit.
