To save battery, the phone software actively tries to put the network stack to sleep. If you keep the timer at 1 minute, it's going to wake up the stack every time.

Unless you expect immense texting, I recommend 15 minutes or more. The lowest I have ever used is 5 minutes.
Thanks UVATBC, I actually just upped it to 2 Mins for the text poll time, and it seems to be working flawlessly (as long as there's network coverage of course). Eventhough I dont text toooo much during the day, but when I do Text its usually more than a dozen texts in a very short period, & 5 mins delay wont work with me. I was also thinking of keeping it at 5 or 10 mins,, & when im doing intense texting I switch it down to 1 or 2 mins, but then you bump into the issue of restarting the whole plugin and reconnecting once again, which sometimes takes longer than usual. But 2 mins seems like its good for now..

But I do have this slight question on all this.
How is polling different than syncing or updating that you get in the emails settings.??? isnt it just a matter of connecting to the network (the internet), and going to your account, and then updating your phone content in correspondence to whatever new activity has happened to your online account....?
Or is there a different procedure for each one (Polling Vs. Syncing Vs. Updating)...?
