Kid sends 14,528 text messages in one month

Wednesday, February 04, 2009

And you thought your kids were addicted to text messaging. Have you heard about this California teen who sent 14,528 text messages in one month? OMG!

Thirteen-year-old Reina Hardesty’s father wasn’t in the mood to “LOL” when he read last month’s AT&T cell phone bill. The 440-page statement listed an incredible 14,528 text messages sent in one month.

Um, that works out to be about 484 text messages a day, on average. Yes, a day.

Fortunately, the Hardesty family has a $30/month unlimited texting plan or else this AT&T bill would have been nearly $3,000.

According to a Nielsen study, the average number of monthly texts for a 13- to 17-year-old teen is about 1,742. Thankfully we never lost our opposable thumbs during human evolution.
