Girl, 13, sends 14,528 texts in a month

Seriously though wonder how big of a box the bill came in.

Probably the same kind that Lisa's first Mapple MyBill came in. "Such beautiful packaging.... TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS????"

Anyway, I'd be much more concerned about this girl's mental health than the many trees that died to make the phone bill. So much waste.

Well, the US charges both incoming and outgoing messages, so maybe it's just ~7k texts sent and 14k total.

At least the dad recognizes there is a problem and said enough is enough.

It's not that hard though... It's about 20 texts an hour if you don't count sleeping in. If you do sleep from time to time it's about 32 texts an hour. Not that hard really, I can easily do that on socially active moments ^^ Unlimited SMS plans for the win!

I've only sent 6363 with my 2 year old phone so far :p (8.7 a day)

That's only if you pay for text messages.

I can send out 300 text messages to friends that don't pay for a texting plan. Receiving is free on at&t's network, but if they respond via text, then they incur a cost to do so. But if you pay for a texting plan, then you pay for sending and receiving which I think is stupid, but whatever.

I see your point on the number based on send/receive though.
