<description><![CDATA[snipper_cr posted : Wow, and I thought my 200-300 a month was extensive... Although I've always been careful since only recently (within past 2 years) have I had a text messaging plan. Before that it was pay as you go and mommy and daddy didn't pay for my cell phone service like a vast majority of people tweens+teens+twenties. I know people who have graduated college and their parents STILL pay their cell phone (and car insurance, and daily living expenses). [/rant] Sorry.<br><br>But yes, 17,000 texts a month... thats... pretty impressive. <br>Thats 566/day (more than I send/receive in a MONTH!)<br>23/hour<br>Thats almost a text message every-other minute... and thats in a 24 hour time period! I assume that kid gets at least SOME sleep.<br><small>--<br>The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.<br>CPL:IA;ASEL/AMEL. CFI:ASE/AME; IA</small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[pcdebb posted : imagine the parent that called me recently, who's teenager somehow called in and removed the text message block, but DID NOT add a text package, so each text at .15 was billed out.
