How to unlock the Text Junkie achievement in Catherine - Definitive Guide
http://catherinethegame.wikia.com/wiki/Phone_Mail
(the page also includes the pictures of catherine that you have to go to the bathroom of the bar to browse, so be careful when you open this page at work - no nudity but it shows her in a towel and such)
Although there are many possible text responses to get the next message, I'm only listing one of them, and using ...[any] when the rest of the responses don't matter in terms of getting the next text, though they may matter on the karma meter. Use http://catherinethegame.wikia.com/wiki/Phone_Mail if you are trying to manage your karma meter at the same time as doing this achievement. Also don't leave the bar if you haven't received and responded to all of the texts for the day (duh.) If you miss responding to a text for the day, you generally won't be able to respond in a following day.
Also, this achievement is way easier to get if you have gold on all the levels already, as then you can skip through the block levels.
==========================================
Day 1 - 2 texts (2 Katherine)
This day is the easiest to mess up as time doesn't work the same as the other days here. Make sure you respond to Katherine's first e-mail before saving. You want to send a positive response so that she will send a second text. For this put the following responses:
Katherine 1-1 Checking in
Does it bother you?
I worry about it too sometimes.
Maybe we should talk about this.
Drive home safe, okay?
Make sure to respond to Katherine's second text as well as soon as it comes. If you don't, you will miss it!

==========================================
Day 2 - 5 texts (2 Katherine, 3 Catherine)
There a couple tricks to this one. Send a positive response to Katherine's first text, and don't respond to Catherine's first text right away until she sends a second. After that, send a very positive response to either of Catherine's texts. The rest of the responses don't matter.
Katherine 2-1 Are you at SS again?
Sorry I wasn't home.
You Want to talk now?
...[any]
Catherine 2-2 R U getting these?
I got your message
What do you want?

Day 3 - 5 texts (2 Katherine, 3 Catherine)
Although there are 5 texts in day 3, you can only get max 4 of them. Katherine will text you again if you send a positive response to her first text. Catherine will text you again if you are either positive or negative enough to her first text.
Katherine 3-1 Are you drinking?
Sorry...
But it's important to be with my friends, too.
...[any]
Catherine 3-1 Hey!
Yeah, I'm done
I can't see you today, though. I'm busy.
I'll text you again later.

Day 4 - (2 Katherine, 4 Catherine)
You can't respond to Catherine's pic, so this leaves 5 text responses for today.
Send Katherine a positive response.
Send Catherine a later response to her second text (the one after the pic), and then a mean brush off to get her angry enough to text back.
Catherine 4-2 Heyyy
I'm drinking with friends.
We'll talk later.
Katherine 4-1 About this morning
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to chase you away.
I wanted to protect you...
I want to talk to you, too.
...[any]
Catherine 4-3 Re: You meanie!
Don't Call me.
I mean it. Stop calling me.

Day 5 - 5 texts (2 Katherine, 3 Catherine)
This is the first day you can get the achivement. This time the picture of Catherine is respondable to. If you respond encouragingly enough to Catherine's non-pic text, she will text you again. You can also get it by ignoring the text, but this might take a lot longer.
Catherine 5-2 I'm wondering
I'm not lying!
I've been really tired lately.
Come on, cheer up.

Day 6 - 3 texts (2 Katherine, 1 Catherine)
Respond comfortingly to Katherine's first text to receive a second.
Katherine 6-1 Re: What's going on?
Don't worry about it.
You don't have to worry about anything.

Day 8 - 0 texts
When you leave the bar at the end of the 8th day, the achievement should pop! Congrats!
This achievement will unlock once you have sent 20 text messages through your cell phone. If you answer every possible text message, this should happen by the 5th Day but the achievement doesn't unlock until the 8th Day. There are 25 text messages you can reply to in any given playthrough. You mysteriously lose some of your texts later in the game but it should not affect the achievement. Depending on how you respond to some texts, you may or may not get replies which leads to fewer texts per playthrough making this achievement easily missable. That's why it's important to stick around the Stray Sheep until you get some because leaving too early will cause you to miss them. Chatting with patrons and friends twice(until the pink talk box goes gray) seems to initiate some text messages. This will unlock once you leave the Stray Sheep on the 8th Day if you have sent 20 or more text messages. For a list of every text message in the game and how to initiate them, click HERE.
This trophy will unlock if you have 20 text messages in the sent folder in your cell phone by the time you leave the bar on the 8th day. As it is possible to compile 20 text messages even before that time, the trophy will only unlock on day 8. Every day you will have text messages from various sources. It is important that you stick around the Stray Sheep Bar until almost everyone has left to exhaust all possible incoming text message opportunities. Talking to patrons more than once until they have a “grey” status in their pink talk box can help with getting follow-up messages.
Once you get a message, it is in your best interest to always reply to get follow-up messages to be able to send more messages. Open your mobile phone with to read a text message, which you can then select the message with to enter a reply. To change the outgoing text line, use the erase command via the , and then again to re-input a different response. Different responses will affect your karma meter towards chaos, neutral, or law.
Refer to our Text Messages Guide for details.
Remember also that if your karma is in the Law position, then you will receive an additional SMS from Katherine by replying to her message. If your karma deviates to the Chaos position, then you will receive additional SMS from Catherine.
