i member this girl in florida:

If you have been following mainstream media for the last couple of days, you may have heard about a 13-year-old girl who sent 14,000 text messages in a single month. That sounds like a lot of SMS, but it pales in comparison to the official world record.

A 14-year-old girl from Florida, for instance, used her Sprint phone to send and receive somewhere in the neighborhood of 35,000 text messages. This wasn't just one freak of nature kind of month either, because she repeated the feat at least one other time. For those of you looking to crunch the numbers, this works out to nearly 1200 text messages a day.

Given these two examples, you'd almost assume that teenage girls were the SMS rulers of the land. Wrong! As it turns out, the person who holds the Guinness World Record for text messages sent in a single month is Deepak Sharma, a grown man. Whereas those girls were able to bring their text messages into five figures, Mr. Sharma bumped it up to six figures.

The current record calls for 182,689 messages in a single month. This works out to 6,100 messages a day or 4.2 messages a minute. In this way, he was effectively sending or receiving a text message every fifteen seconds. These guys had better have unlimited texting plans, because if they were paying for each one at 20 cents or so, Deepak would owe over $36,000 for that month in SMS charges alone.

I'm clearly well behind this trend, as I've never sent more than 100 text messages a month.

It's hard for me to go over 1500 a month. This month I am at 1200 something. I am doing all of this using T9 word on a flip phone. I would fear for everyone if I got a phone with a keyboard because I would be texting like a mother.

As per the thread Chevillac started:
How many txt messages a month do you usually use? IN your number include text, picture messages, and video messages if you use them.

I have the black berry So i use email alot, plus blackberry messanger alot instead of txt, But still come up with about 11000 txt average a month...

How much is too much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I normally get 3K a month. I once racked up an $800 text fee once because the company failed to put me as unlimited texting.

I have used 7000 text messages, 300 picture messages, and at least 2500 e-mails last month. My E-Mails are so high because I work for a School District of 500+ employees and 3000+ students that all send out e-mails. I have the Media Bundle plan for my iPhone, screw there iPhone plans. It's cheaper this way plus I get my Coca-Cola discount! Wurd
