This equates to roughly (and feel free to check my math on this) 4.228 texts every minute, or about 6,000 messages a day. It’s hard to believe that anyone could be so prolificly texting their friends and family with such frequency without the aid of a computer, but anything’s possible."</i><br /><br />The math is right however it implies he was up 24 hours a day doing this. To make it more realistic let's assume he was up 14 hours a day doing this. It would then be about 7 texts every minute. It takes me a minute just to find the name I'm trying to send the message to sometimes! My BS meter is pegged on this one. :roll:

If you go to the original link at http://news.webindia123.com/news/showdetails.asp?id=81574&amp;n_date=20050510&amp;cat=India you'll see he is doing it to get into the Guinness Book of World Records, so that makes it plausible.

Stupid, but plausable. :?

I don't know what's worse. Having to pay the bill, or being one of his victims in SMS-mania.
