Maybe You Should Use T-Mobile Instead: Girl Texts 484 Messages A DAY, Or 1 Every 2 Minutes

Holy cow. If you think you're textually active, how about this 13-year old girl who texted 14,528 messages in one whole month. Hell, I can't even do that in a decade! And if you do the math, it actually comes to 484 a day, or one every two minutes of every hour for 24 hours! Does she even sleep? Is that the Provigil kicking in?

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.

"Then I thought maybe AT&T made some mistake on the bill," said Hardesty, of Silverado Canyon.

...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.
Geez, imagine if she used prepaid.
