Texting surpasses 6,000 monthly limit
Posted on: Tuesday, 16 December 2008, 23:00 CST
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.
