35,000 texts in one month

CLERMONT, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- A Clermont man is lucky Sprint offers an unlimited text messaging plan.
 
Brad Cox's 14-year-old daughter, Emilee, sent or received more than 35,000 messages a month twice in the past year. Cox called a media outlet to report his daughter's excessive texting after reading an article on the Web about a California girl who topped 14,000 in a month.
 
Emilee's highest month was June, when she tallied 35,463 messages, or about 1,182 a day. She attributed the spike to constantly trading text messages with friends while she was at cheerleading camp.
 
A spokeswoman for Sprint confirmed the number of messages. Cox says as long as his daughter continues to get good grades, he doesn't have a problem with her texting.

How the fuck is this even possible?
On average she sent:

1,166 messages per day.

48 per hour.

Just think, she slept each night too.  So it's 49 texts per hour if she stayed up all night, every night that month.  But she slept.  So it's more like 73 texts per hour if she slept 8 hours.  More than one per minute, all day, every day.  Crazy.

Most were probably "L O L", "Me too!" and "Hot chick orgy at my place"-type message, though.

sent or received more than 35,000 messages a month

I guess a lot of them could be receiving. Like if she was a slut or something

There's something oddly familiar about a guy named Brad with a daughter named Emilee.

I think we need to re-educate to our kids what a phone is.

You punch in a number. Hit send. You hear a real voice. You talk into it.

This is like the 360 chat pad. VOICE CHAT? WHY THE FUCK DOWNGRADE!?!

I text about a billion percent more than I make voice calls on my cell.  I hate talking on the phone.  Get with the times, Sidepocket!

Text is for conversation, voice is for pranking. Not difficult to understand.

Remember, as well, if she sends one messages to all of her contacts, it's counted as one message per contact. I know a few people who seem to think EVERYONE THEY KNOW needs to know what they're up to by text at any time, so they send text updates like "class sucks" or "I need a nap" to all of their contacts classed as mobile phone numbers. Same goes for picture messages. Besides, if she was at cheerleader camp, she was probably saying mean things about her slutty cheerleader friends to all her slutty non-cheerleader friends. Just for the sake of consistancy, let's say she receives and sends equal amounts of texts, which would put the sending end down to 17,500 in one month, or 584/day, or ~37 hour in a 16 hour day. This sounds much more realistic. Now, just to make things simple, an "all contact" text could send messages to hundreds of people at once. Since it's very hard to figure out, let's just say each text sent is received by, on average, 1.5 recipients, which puts actual messages sent to ~25, or one every 2-3 minutes. Even that is a very high number, but it's much more realistic.

why does everyone say "tecks-tuh" or txt or text. just say SMS message or even just SMS.

"hey buddy, send me a TXT!"
"hey buddy, send me a SMS!"
