WELLINGTON , New Zealand, -- A 16-year-old New Zealand girl who is allowed a substantial 6,000 text messages per month says she often goes over her limit and has to bum phones from friends.

Wellington High School student Hannah Brooke said her text plan, which costs $17 monthly, is not enough to satisfy her 260 texts-per-day habit, The Dominion Post reported Tuesday.

"I have three phones and I run out of texts all the time. It's just like all day," she said.

Brooke said her texting, which she pays for out of her own pocket, is mostly just to keep up to date on daily goings-on.

"Just everyday things -- `What are you up to? Where are you? What's up?' Just normal stuff," she said. "If you have nothing to do, you usually text more. I guess I just text for the sake of it."

I've had my phone for a year and a half now, and i've had to top up 4 times (£20). Whats the point of texting, when i can use MSN/email friends for free?

She sends more SMSes a day than I've sent in ONE AND A HALF YEARS.

Jesus fuck.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Cause people dont bring there computers with them.
texting rocks and i text a lot but 6000 a month is nothing im sure mad people top that but for some reason someone made a news article about it. I have unlimited texting. She needs to do the same.

probably about her, tbh, 1.5 years = 18 months = (loads up calc.exe) = 333 texts a month, which isn't particularly abnormal to send less than that (i certainly don't)

Yeah, but that is an exception. Enjoy typing on a phone who has buttons smaller than your fingers. I dont see the point in that.

I don't 'get' the idea of casual social texting either. Even messaging small chitchat to people over Facebook is an un-natural process to me.

Her.

Allowing for a relatively short amount of sleep each day (~6 hours), that's one text every 4 minutes.

What sort of moron does that?

Your maths/reading fails.

She sends 260 texts/day. That's ~14.5 a month, when split over 18 months. That's roughly one every other day. Which I would consider fairly normal, on the low side of normal, but normal nonetheless.

From my observations, texting is for moronic kids to try their best to sound/look popular.

I agree with Ioan.
