SILVERADO CANYON, Calif., Jan. 11 (UPI) -- A California father says he discovered his 13-year-old daughter sent 484 text messages per day last month -- one message every 2 minutes of every waking hour.
The things to remember is you can send the same text to multiple people. My phone/carrier only allows 10 max. But typically on a thursday I'll send out two 10 person texts asking what's going on for the weekend. I typically get 12 replies within 15mins and I reply back to all of them, sometime I have to reply multiple time...So in that half an hour span I would go through 100 text messages...
Jag has a point. My phone allows me to send a single message to up to 30 people at once. On Monday, I usually pass on the free Redbox code. On Holidays, I've got some sarcastic holiday message that gets passed around. Not to mention the Text-message forwards that have me laughing a storm *it's like email forwards.. but with text messages*.
Now... 14K messages on the other hand. Jeebus Crispspsps. That is indeed a lot. My current usage just got reset for the billing month, so I'll have to get back to you on what my text message usage was.
well, if she's signed up for twitter, she might get TONS of text messages. TONS.
I know b/c I'm on twitter, and it looks like I send/receive a lot of texts but really, I just get tons to read.
My 14 yo has 4756 so far this billing cycle. It doesn't end until the 26th. Oy. Good thing we have an unlimited plan. And those msgs are with him being blocked at all times of the day during the week except 4 - 9 pm and unfettered access on weekends.
