Is it even possible to send more than 10 text messages for every minute of your waking day? According to one California girl, it damn sure is! Crystal Wiski has just laid claim to having sent out almost 304,000 SMS text messages in a single month. More precisely, Crystal claims to have sent 303,398 text messages from her iPhone.
The latest record comes on the heels of a previous record-breaking attempt by a pair of Pennsylvania buddies that resulted in a whopping $26,000 phone bill. But, that particular record attempt had just 217,000 text messages sent between two people. Crystal lays claim to over 1/3 million text messages all by herself!
Apparently, Crystal attributes her text messaging prowess to being “popular,” adding that she “can’t help [texting].”
Whatever the impetus behind Crystal seeming text message addiction, it’s a good thing her mom signed up for an unlimited text messaging plan. Put it this way, if carriers pay half a cent per text message, Crystal just used up $1,500 worth of SMS text messages. Now that’s how you stick it to the carriers!
