Talk may be cheap, but texting still requires some form of communication. In fact, it often calls for more thoughtfulness and accuracy than verbal conversation, as it allows for carefully worded messages that can be re-read to eliminate any potential for miscommunication. Not only that, but even when texting to someone in the same room, it often requires frequent glances and even gestures that can be just as meaningful as eye contact. So urRong - talk may be cheap, but texting is far from "cheap" when it comes to communication!
