14,528 text messages in one month....

The California man's 13-year-old daughter, Reina, racked up an astonishing 14,528 text messages in one month. The online AT&T statement ran 440 pages.

"First, I laughed. I thought, 'That's insane, that's impossible,' " the 45-year-old dad said. "And I immediately whipped out the calculator to see if it was humanly possible."

He found it was - barely.

It works out to 484 text messages a day, or one every two minutes of every waking hour.

omfg, that makes spam look like normal chatter.Jandurin

Wow, thats insanity.

How the heck can you text that much?!?!
That person must spend their whole day just texting, talk about no life >_>

Is there a point where an over-reliance upon texting stunts normal communication skills?

Wow. At least they have unlimited text-OpaK-

The company can take that away from you though if you abuse it. I'm pretty sure that for 14,528 texts they can remove her contract. Maybe it's different over here though.

Wow, that's ridiculous. I only send 2-10 each day.t3hrubikscube

I do anywhere between 2 - 25 in one day, depending on if I'm horny.

I miss the good ol' days when people used phones to call :( Anyone ever wonder how news reporters get this news? Does the father walk in and tell the reporters about his day, or do the reporters randomly walk around town asking if anyone had anything interesting happen to them?II_Seraphim_II

Reina had a karaoke birthday party, and while other people were singing, she was texting her best friend sitting right next to her.

I think it's possible. Anyway that's just crazy I never text and I only make one call everyday (to tell my mum to come and pick me up from the train station.) I think teens rely too much on phones these days. And what's the point of having a $500 phone? My $25 brick works quite fine thank you very much.

Do people even use cell phones for calls anymore?Legendaryscmt

wow, thats sad!

and sad that someone is reling to those txts as muh as she was sending them :|

Luckily, Hardesty has a phone plan that allows unlimited texting for $30 a month. Otherwise, he estimates, he would have owed AT&T $2,905.60 at a rate of 20 cents per message.

I guess the father got the message about her daughter's habits. Okay that pun was lame.:P
