Texies?!?!

I will admit to being a bit pedantic. However, has anyone else noticed the mispronounciation of the plural of the word 'text' by television and radio presenters recently. Instead of requesting those stupid enough to pay £1.50 a go to send in their texts the word is inevitably pronounced 'texies'. However, when referring to an idiot with more money than sense who has already sent in a text message the presenter will say that he has 'texted'. This word has only recently become a verb with the advent of mobile telephones thus the dictionary is unclear as to whether 'texted' is the correct pronounciation or maybe the word 'text' would also be suitable for use in the past and present tense. Anyone any ideas? Don't bother texting!
