Une jeune fille américaine de 13 ans a envoyé 14 528 SMS à ses amis pendant le mois de décembre 2008, soit une moyenne de 484 SMS par jour!
Girl sends 14,528 text messages a month
That was a total of 14,528 texts for the entire month and an average of one message every two minutes while awake.
Reida Hardesty's father was shocked when he received the phone bill at the end of the month.
"First, I laughed. I thought, 'That's insane, that's impossible',"the 45-year-old told The New York Post.
"And I immediately whipped out the calculator to see if it was humanly possible.
Then I thought maybe AT&T made some mistake on the bill,"
However, there was no mistake and the online AT&T statement ran to 440 pages.
Mr Hardesty questioned his daughter on who exactly she was sending messages to all the time.
"Who are you texting, anyway? Your entire school?" he asked.
"Well, a lot of my friends have unlimited texting. I just text them pretty much all the time," she explained, according to The New York Post.
The paper reported that the California girl sent messages to four of her friends who were all compulsive texters.
The average number of monthly texts for a 13- to 17-year-old teen is 1,742.
Mr Hardesty admits he himself sends 900 messages a month – 700 more than average for his age group, the paper reported.
It added that Mr Hardesty and his ex-wife have since placed restrictions on Reina's mobile phone use, ruling she cannot text after dinner.
