I did 14,786 last month, which isn't unusual (yes, I work too, and I have more than a paltry 3 friends and no sore fingers). Sprint, HTC Touch Pro, SERO unlimited texts (thank God).
I work at a major mobile phone company and the most I ever saw, and I am not kidding was someone who consistantly did 60,000 and up with their highest being over 83,000!!! That is not a typo. For one month. The way it can happen is very simple. Multiple messaging. You can send a message to many people at the same time or think about IM. You send a IM to all your 20 or 30 or however many you have and boom, there's 30 messages in one second. So they can add up really fast. Thats why we push the unlimited plans all the time, no worries. Had Mr at@t had a smaller plan, His bill would have been huge, we see it all thie time.
People would be better off calling and getting the conversation over with when you are sending out more than 5,000 text per month. That's insane! I work in a very busy business and I don't get 6,000 emails a month!
Instead, these kids should spend more time teaching themselves to install dual booting OS's with Win7 and Unbuntu instead of texting your friends: Got bud?
Otherwise, our good neighbors from India can keep importing their computer engineers while our education levels is this country goes flushes into the toleit. While UC schools said today that they have to lower entrance numbers for new students next fall because they are underfunded.

Have your sister or nerdtalker ever considered using the "phone" feature on their texting machines?

I blame the parents.
