She needs to train harder or she'll never get that record.

"Two central Pennsylvania friends spent most of March in a text-messaging
record attempt, exchanging a thumbs-flying total of 217,000.

For one of the two, that meant an inches-thick itemized bill for $26,000."

As others have said, if she uses Twitter and has configured her account to
send updates directly to her phone, that's potentially hundreds of
incoming messages a day all by itself. Your daughter's receiving "only" a
thousand messages a day; I'm not sure if you could realistically read and
respond to all of them, but receiving that many isn't much of a stretch at
all.
