Could my wrist pain be because of my texting and phone use?

Yes: Your body is not shy about letting you know when you do things it is not happy about. If your symptoms increase while performing the activity then it is not wise to continue. If avoiding the activity solves the problem great. If not more aggressive forms of treatment is necessary. This requires an evaluation and specific diagnosis.

I've noticed that the meaty area of the thumb (a little toward the palm moving down toward the wrist) gets sore sometimes - often for a week. Then goes away. But it's painful. Like I can't do yoga or anything. I do use my phone a lot. What is this?
