Guinness World Record?
January 13th, 2009 omo
The sub title for that article is
OMG! 14,528 MESSAGES IN A MONTH!
OMG indeed.
This Californian teenager of 13 texted that many message during her family plan’s last billing period, resulting in a shocked dad (who himself texts at around 900 a month).
If you’re doing the math, that’s just a tad over 20 messges an hour. If you limit yourself to texting 8 hours a day, that’s just one text a minute, or one text every 2 minutes if you go for 16 hours. Not bad at all. That’s 484 messages a day.
The bill was over 400 pages long, so this crazy texting teenager cost AT&T more in postage than actual telecom costs, probably.
There are something like 50 million teenagers (based on 2000’s census numbers) in America, so if all of them are texting maniacs like this girl, that clocks in 24 billion text messages a month. If just a quarter of that is inter-carrier… OMG.
