Does the phone have a fan for cooling it?

It’s not only a problem with kids, also adults tend to send mails back & forth all the time in stead of just picking up the phone and explaining the issue. That would save a lot of time and frustration.

Maybe in 10 years, culture will change again…

Hey Will,
Are you saying your daughter is wearing out phones? Wow.
I am reminded of the old saying, “Everything in MODERATION.”
I also wonder why people don’t just call and talk. Much easier I think. Hmmm…. Steve, the trade show guru

Hey Steve – She is so fast that several incoming and outgoing in a minute is not unusual. She has gone through a few phones in the past year. They have all been replaced under warranty though. Except for the one that fell into the porcelain “dog water bowl”. Had to use the insurance we had on the phone for that one.

24,000 a month! That is CRAZY! That is 800 text per day, which means ONE TEXT EVERY MINUTE FOR OVER 12 HOURS STRAIGHT (and every day of the month!!!!). WOW! Excuse the caps but WOW WOW WOW! ~ Steve, the no-texts-for-me trade show guru Steves last blog post..Trade Show Exhibit Booths and SEO

Thanks Richard – This reminds me to post the answer to how many text messages per month she sends and receives. Look above at the updated end of the post for the answer!

I found this post searching for information on text messaging. We recently went to unlimited text messaging on our mobile plan because my 2 offspring were sending a lot of texts each month. By that I mean a couple hundred. When I see information like you wrote, I am scared of where we are headed now with our unlimited plan.

Wow… I can’t believe the sheer number of text messages that were sent!

Well I just discovered that the bill includes not only the texts she sends but the ones she receives also. So about 1/2 of the text messages on the bill were incoming and the other half were ones she sent. So for as far as guessing how many she actually sent, the number is not as high as I originally thought. But…… you are still too low, Steve.

hey Will,
7182… too low, way too low?
ok, I’ll go with 10,000, but with 30 days in a month that would be 333 per day (every day!), and assuming 8 hours a day of phone time, that would be 40 texts per hour, or 2 texts every three minutes.
No, that is just insane! ~ Steve, the non-texting trade show guru

Hi Steve – You need to be like me as good with the mouse in the left hand as the right. Although I got that way from running two computers at the same time, all the time. Maybe my daughter gets her affinity for technology from me?

As to your guess, look at Livingsword’s guess above and my reply. This could be fun. I think I need to go out and solicit some guesses to see if anyone even comes close. If you have any on-line friends with teenage daughters, send them here to guess, they probably have the only chance to come close!
