My (male) cousin sends more than that. Not kidding. One time he sent 15k a month. Think about that. It's 500 a day.

I MIGHT send 500 in a month, and I consider myself a heavy text messager.

Its actually not "that" impressive when you consider that in all likelihood this kid just texted a group of friends all the time...so really its probably closer to 1500 per month (50 per day, while still a lot is not completely crazy).

If that is true, 35,000 in a month is about 1,150 a day. Say the kid sleeps maybe 6 hours. That is 64 texts per hour. Unreal. How long does it take to read and send a text? If you are really fast, say 15 seconds? That is about 15 minutes of every hour awake spent texting...for an entire month.

I find texting frustrating as hell. I probably only send 500 text messages in a year.

Plus I type at the speed of my mother on a keyboard which doesn't help.
