thats insane.

15000????????????????
I average at around 700 a month, and my sister, who's a messaging addict, probably averages at around 1500 a month. This girl, is wacko.
I wonder how many messages each of her friends must get a day

My question - does Paige's school weight grades? 'Cuz if they do, a GPA "above 3.0" is really not that stellar. In this day and age of grade inflation (I'm a teacher in Ohio, so I can tell you it's rampant here), 3.0 might not even be a big huge deal if it's an actual, unweighted formula.

If she was in my class, I'd be ticked. There's no way you can send 1500 texts/mo and keep them all OUTSIDE the school day.

I did the math- thats 500 texts sent a day (about 21 every hour). thats insanity.

She is JUST like one of my girlfriends. She texts me back so fast it's crazy! She doesn't even look at her buttons either.

That is crazy! She must be sending a lot of 1 word texts lol

Wow... normally I text about 700, but recently its been over 1000. And I thought I texted too much!

Well my 16 year old daughter hit 10,000 last month..i guess when you are sending the letter K over and over all day..it adds up..Does it annoy me that she is walking around clicking all day..you bet..but IMHO it's better than hearing yapping with a phone attatched to her ear..I hear enough of peoples conversations as it is.

Imagine if she sent these via twitter. Let's hope she never discovers it.

neko -- she'd be that twitter girl from the youtube video! haahaa

i read that story yesterday on cnn and thought how much her fingers had to hurt. and i'm sure she's texting things like k, lol, lmao, idk, etc. so that probably does add up.

i send real messages and i text about 1000 a month. but only because i don't like talking on the phone. i'll carry on conversations in text unless i'm driving.

she has no life.
I thought my friend who sends 2,000 was bad.

Jesus people! You send a lot of text messages! I probably send like 35 a month.

I am a text message junkie, but it's because I HATE talking on the phone. I have to put up with clients calling in all day, so when I get off work, I am in a phone-call free zone. Plus, my current boyfriend is doing a detachment in Alaska... so generally there's a lot of texting going on all day. But hey, I have the unlimited texting plan too, so I'm not worried about it.

Hahaha... so I just checked to be sure... and I've used 2156 texts since the 20th. Wow right now.

The Husband's client arrived to a meeting with him completely white. his teen daughter had come home with a "overage" on her text messages, and he thought it was a mistake. she had almost 30 THOUSAND texts in one month, which they had averaged out to about 890+ texts per day.

and no, they didn't let him off the hook for it, either. he had to pay up and he set the daughter's plan to cut her off after 50 texts per month. she might have exploded when he told her that...

it made my teenager look like a digital idiot, and we were happy about that!

I love texting and all but that seems excessive.

15,000??? Good Lord!!
I send about 400.... oops!

Wow that's a lot! But is that sending and receiving or just sending? I average 2500 combined.

She must have a lot of friends....wonder if they get tired of her always texting them?

wow...that's alot! i just recently got into texting..and i love it! trying to get more of my friends into it since i live west coast and they live midwest.

what on earth do people text about? i don't get it.

omg wtf! That is some serious texting.

she cant know that many ppl.
i've used my phone to talk to ppl through aim
and they charge it as texts

maybe that's how she ranked up those texts.

i send an average of 8,000 a month, it gets old texting really fast. i hate talking on the phone so i usually text, and when people call me they get annoyed by the texting sound, lol.

but still 15,000 a month is a lotttttttttttttttt, whoa.

she is probably on aim the whole time; i usually average out 600+ a month. I'm on unlimited plan too. I love texting. I cant stand calling people anymore. and If i am in a fight with my beau he is getting a text.

that's crazy, i bet her parents are just glad that she has the unlimited texting otherwise that'd be crazy expensive!

Okay, so I'm in 9th grade and I'm on at&t, this Christmas I finally got a cell phone, a Razr (it's PINK!), and texting came with it, well, that is 400 texts a month! The first month I went over by 200 (I was wasting most of them on a boy, ick), but now, I try to keep it down. Well by the 14th this month I only have 7 texts left, no, 5 because I bought "Play that Funky Music" and "7 things" for ringtones. I wish I had unlimited!

And I thought my 17 year old sending 3000 text messages a month was bad. Good thing most cell companies have unlimited texting plans. All of her friends are the same way. I guess young people don't talk on the phone anymore. Plus texting is a silent way to communicate during class. As a high school teacher you have to watch the cell phones. Answers for tests can be sent that way. No one writes answers on their hands anymore or passes papers when the teachers not looking. They just text.

No wonder i have so many delayed text messages, she's hogging the network LOL.

Old thread but I loved your comment Heidi Girl.

My daughter has sent as many as 30,000 in a month. This month, with her phone blocked for 5 days she is up to 11,647.

omg

My daughters total this month is 17,440 text messages. A bill consisting of 834 pages for her messages alone. She is texting almost every minute of the day! Either her school teachers are blind or she is real good at it.

Our last three cell phone bills have listed our daughters texting at over 11,000 texts per month. I looked at her text log and several of these are less then four words each. I have noticed that she is spending a lot less time with my wife and I. I told here this was not acceptable and if she doesn't reverse this trend the texting and phone are going away. These stupid things(cell phones) are decreaseing our way of life and relationships between parents and kids.

haha thats crazy. most iv texted is 1500 (during winter=(. and i thought that was alot. damn girlllllllll 15000

what the f*ck happened to them good ol days where if you had a nerdy you you would be laughed at yes im a 90s kid i average about 500 a month or more

God..Get a l--e!Why not actually talking to someone in person? Glad your not my daughter!

uhhh i usely text 3-400 texts a day everyday, so yea add that up.

Oh. I texted more on my last billing cycle. therefore i have no life. yeah right. that girl makes a 3.0 grade point average. if i were her parent i wouldnt mind. shes bringing home good grades and she has a lot of friends that have unlimited, im guessing.

I've had a phone since I was a junior in high school, so 3 years this month. At first i averaged to send/receive 1,000 a month, but by 2008, I was sending/receiving 5,000 a month.

In the past few months, i have gone back down to about 3,000 sent/received on average. Compared to my friends, that's not too much. My younger brother's best friend, who is 15, averages about 15,000 sent/received a month, and his older sister is a major prep and texts nonstop 24/7/365.

One of my friends once claimed to send/receive 28,500 one month, but i think that might be an exaggeration. But then again, over 20,000 for him would be believeable, seeing as he texts at the movies, texts at restaurants, texts while driving, and even texts while in the bathroom.

wow thats sad cause last month i did 20500

i send about 11 messages a day so i think i got a texting problem i need help!!!

i havee the same issue, haaa
i average around 9,000 textss a monthh and i love itt♥
i cant say my parents are thrillled about it but its okay
well my phone recently broke -__- and a replacement phone is coming in the mail sooon
its only been approximately a day since i havent had my phone and i find myselff randomly textingg .... without a phone in my hands! its crazyy

i cantt wait until my phone comes in the mail, i dont think i can last any longer without it
