davisal771 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 In California a 13 year old girl was able to rack up an astounding 14,528 text messages in one month. For those keeping track that's 484 a day which breaks down to 20 an hour or 1 every three minutes, for the entire month! When asked, Reina Hardesty's replied that "I just like to talk", which is ironic because she was texting and not actually talking. Her parents were at least wise enough that they did sign her up for unlimited texting but if they had not her bill would have amounted to $2,811. For more information about the cost of text messaging to the carrier you can read this article as previously reported on Neowin. Her parents have responded to the outrageous amount of texting by limiting her use of the cell phone in which she responded, "lke omg ur so mean." Link Thoughts?

davisal771 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 ^Hmm, If she is sending 1 text every 3 minutes then she probably could text pretty effing fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSiRockin Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 ^Hmm, If she is sending 1 text every 3 minutes then she probably could text pretty effing fast... I doubt these texts are long descriptions of why Shakespeare's best play is Othello. It's probally more like "hey" or "omg sooo bored" or "ok now im texting for the hell of it."

braztaz Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Keep in mind a lot of her texts were probably just "lol" "ok" "cool". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Linn Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I used to pull around 6,000-8,000 a month and I thought that was a lot...this girl had to literally have been texting all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 My daughter just told me that one of her friends had about 12,000 texts for the month ... that this wasn't the first time this has happened ... and that her mother doesn't have her on an unlimited text plan. You would have thought the Mom would have learned the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenA07 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 My sister used to send 8,000 or so texts a month when she was a little younger. I remember thinking it was nuts because she would sleep with her phone so she could quickly respond to her messages. I send (or recieve) about 300-350 a month and I feel like that is ton. To be fair however while I would be fine without texting, I would feel lost without being able to use my phone for emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 ^ I'm about the same, my daughter is around 800, my son is around 50. I won't even try to guess how many my wife sends, I don't pay for her phone so I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davisal771 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 ^^^ Wow, 12k without unlimited messaging probably resulted in some serious $$$... The most I've ever gotten is around 3,500. And I thought that was alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 14,000 is a little more than I have sent in one month, two months ago I sent like 13,500 texts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebl Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 My total texts sent and received is still a two-digit number. And that's a lifetime total. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I munch anywhere between 300 and 700 texts, if I run out one month then I always use less the next. 500th post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyoverlord71 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I rarely leave the double figures. Mainly because I actually go and physically talk to people. The most I've texted was about 500 one month because my girlfriend at the time was away for a month and I was texting her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomegaceu Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 My 13 year old sister has racked up 18000 texts in a month. I'm pretty sure my brother has gotten more than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Whatever happened to calling people? Silly rabbit, phones these days aren't for calling and talking to people. A phone is used for such activities like texting, games, and listening to music, but you never use a phone to talk to people! That's crazy!

ericm95 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 The most I've ever gotten was like 8K now I usually send around 3 or 4K but this month I havent really texted that much... But 14K dang! I think 4K is a ton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
