$2,900 Worth Of Text Messages
Ok, I send a lot of texts. Sometimes you don’t want to talk to people and sometimes it’s faster to just text and go about your business. This girl above, Reina Hardesty, 13, sent 14,528 text messages last month alone. Her father checked got a statement in mail which had 440 pages. Here’s what he said:
“First, I laughed. I thought, ‘That’s insane, that’s impossible,’ ” the 45-year-old dad said. “And I immediately whipped out (my junk and) 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.
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.
The average number of monthly texts for a 13- to 17-year-old teen is 1,742, according to a Nielsen study of cellphone usage.
