A 13-year-old girl from California, Reina, sent 484 SMS per day last month. What does that mean? Let the picture tell the story.



She messages a core of "four obsessive texters" - all girls between the ages of 12 and 13 - on her LG phone. Once, Reina had a karaoke birthday party, and while other people were singing, she was texting her best friend sitting right next to her. Via ~ New York Post

Over to you now: Do you text much? If you already have children, what about them?

she must have so many friends 2 text she must be on ADSL

I love 2 text its fun. most Messages in 1 day i have sent is around 20 something
i might get this girls mobile number and learn some tricks from her

cool find AW

lol
women just love their phone...

men -->

women -->



so I'm not impressed that she is a girl but... 14,528 sms in a month


why? to us more j/k


I don't sent sms that much because they are more expensive than a phone call here in Greece

i am on pre paid and every time i recharge i get 200 free text messages

so i have 2 waist them bro

I did some math and came with... 2905,60$ / 14528 sms = 0,20$
it's quiet expensive as in Greece
I wouldn't want to be her dad unless if I were billionaire

no mobile present any more 4 kids they are 2 dangerous

that is what you get when you don't take care about your kid/s. I mean what are the parents doing, if they don't see that she is on mobile all the time. Probably they will have to sent her to some institution, because she is addict! Since they have internet addicts, they will probably make some institutions for mobile/ sms addicts...

14528

How come My hands wud give up @ 1 sms/week

Nice! I rarely SMS these days because making calls is now cheaper than text. Plus, it's difficult to type without a physical keypad (I'm using o2 Xda Exec).

Wow, that's... a lot of text messages.
I rather make a call than to type a text message, because a phone call is cheaper here.

this is ridiculous!! is she still alive? i have heard of people dying of a stroke after being on the computer playing games for 15 hours straight.......this is somewhat similar i guess

what was the 440 page statement about?

wtf?

She must have nightmares till then

On a bill it will show everyone you text/phoned during that period even if it is free (well mine does). It's for billing purposes maybe even security purposes (?).

A text every 2 minutes, really? That is a lot of texts.

Interesting calls are cheaper for you. They are double the price for us so if it's something quick it is better to pay 10p rather than 25p for a one minute call.

ah....an itemised bill..... we have an option to choose whether we want the itemised bill (or statement as u all call it) or not

lol... then the bill that mailed to her parents would have the size of a phone book

Hopefully it was an electronic bill otherwise they'd probably charge for posting to.

My daughter has pocket money (about 45€ per month, from me and her grand father). She's on prepaid and I don't allow her to spend more than 7€ per month. She always must have some money on her account so she can call me or send me SMS. And she's not allow to take it to the school.
She's only 12 . And the phone she has (SE w680) she bought from her pocket money. I think that everything depends on parents.

Of course parental guidance helps.


Are other children allowed to bring their phones to school?

most schools in RSA frown upon it but only a few private schools have banned them.
Most parents use the excuse that if there is an emergncy the kids can contact them, my problem with that is when i was in school, i never had a cell and i turned out ok (well sort off )

Bet her parents are glad she has unlimited texting plan... atleast I hope so, if not... cellphone company is very happy to have them as customers

Unbelievable! A sms every 2 minutes?? I wouldn't do that...

it takes me about 2 minutes to send 1 sms

She sure did get her moneys worth, she's probably got carpal tunnel now

That is quite expensive, here in Finland price for a standard SMS is 0,069€

Reading The Detail Bill will take a longer time than sending those sms....lol

dont worry, her fingers will be out of commision in no time and btw we dont even know that even if she was typing some text in those messages. you know if i send blank messages i can send more than 50000 messages per month if it does not cost anything . . when i had unlimited text messages i usually sent 150 to 175 messages per week.

and i thought it was to much but this is insane.

This kid obviously has waaaaay too much time on her hands and probably has 3 thumbs on each.
Whatever happened to talking.
Get ME, asking that question in an Internet Forum. (Double standards or what ?)

If she eats a healthy diet, and continues to text that much! I bet she could lose a ton of wait, or atleast maintain it!

yeah right.

nice observation....but dont give the girls here any ideas

what gives. you know you could have bought 4 N95's in the bill of those Messages if they were not free. 2,875 something was the bill.

for this money you can buy 3 n96 and a iphone 3g or a 70" widescreen tv

That girl is out of control and to text message your friend when they are standing next to you is insane. I like messaging but just to keep on contact with my family first, the the few select people who have my number.
If she was my daughter I would revoke her phone privilages. Thank god it was on a plan or Dad might have blown a gasket..

i nothing even i have sms-ed around 18000 in a month buts its generally group messaging.So its too easy even u all can try.But remember to have a sms card.In india Reliance Mobiles there a card for 180INR fro which i can send 18000 messages.
So know Plasma or n95 wasted here.

Her service providers will have a kinda package of Text messages...

Gossiping is habit of grlz so it is not tht amazing...she just dont hav somethin to do so she tried to irritate ppl...

last time i always sms with my fren, but then now getting more n more lazy to type using hp..
sometimes one day may sms up to 100++
anyway, i hv unlimited for sms

Lately I only send sms to pay for parking in the city... For everything rest I call, coz it is cheaper than to send sms, at least to me
