    35000 / 1440 minutes in a day = ~24 texts per hour 24/7


    in 16 hours of waking that's ~36 per hour, or every ~2 minutes. all. fucking. day.

    How do they actually count the messages? If I send a message to 2 recipients is that 1 or 2 messages? Because if it's 2 I could send 450 texts in a second.

    these send numbers are off. I'm pretty sure these are total text numbers, both sent and received. My ATT bill gives me a total, not totals for sent and totals for received.


    I was impressed with my niece's texting abilities. She does most of it while not looking at her phone. She can get a msg out in seconds. I handed her my iphone and she was stumped though.

    @ishred: My Verizon bill splits it up between sent and received and also what kind of messages and if they were in network or out of network. But then again, I have the network behind me. You just have the DeathStar.

    what exactly can be said in a text message when one is doing 4 a minute.


    Does he text someone every time he takes a step? Every time he blinks? What the hell could he be saying?

    He must have only been doing it for the sole purpose of breaking the record. Probably continuously sending messages to everyone in his address book or something, then you can easily get to 5 messages per minute on average.

    I know some people rack up thousands of text a month, but is there any real reason to need to send 35,000+?
