Unlimited Texting Certainly a Bargain for One Girl

A New York girl's father was sure glad he paid the extra $30 a month for unlimited texting when he opened his cell phone bill recently. His daughter had sent 14,528 texts in one month. If he didn't have the unlimited plan it could have cost him as much as $2905 just for the texting that month. The most astonishing part of the article to me was the following: "The average number of monthly texts for a 13- to 17-year-old teen is 1,742, according to a Nielsen study of cellphone usage." And I thought I understood teen life.
