You don't have a household with a teenager then. They live and die by
texting. My 14 year older easily exceeds 2000 texts on a monthly basis.

My teenage son sent several thousand more than that, either last month or
the month before, and that wasn't a fluke.

My son averages between 10,000 and 12,000 text messages per month. I
sure am glad we have an unlimited text plan.

That's 25 txts per hr for 16 waking hours every day all month. Roughly one
text every 2 minutes; gobs more at times in reality given that he really
can't be texting every 2 minutes for 16 solid hours. And when does he
attend school/study/work? All that time doing nothing but looking down at a
tiny screen. Nothing I'd boast about, but that's just me.


And of course this is Usenet where figures (boasts?) are sometimes
(often?) inflated. If you believe all you read here can I sell you a
cell tower... ;)

Cell tower????

I can offer a well known New York City bridge! Cheap! For a bridge,
that is!

;-)

I thought about selling a bridge but figured that was OT so decided to
sell a cell tower instead... ;)
