If you have Verizon for your service you can get the
parental controls feature and limit the amount and times the phone is
active. Might help curb things. My daughter is using about 13 to 16
thousand texts a month and I am working on controlling her use for the
same concerns you have. She is still in high school and we take the
phone away from here on school nights. Haven't had to resort to the
parental controls yet. Remember that the IM programs on the phone count
as texts. Is it also possible that her phone has a virus on it? I know
what you mean about the typing speed. I watch my daughter text without
looking while she is having a conversation with me..... Thank

I am not sure really what it was, but that is when I noticed the txt msg addiction. And I truly believe it is an addiction, she sleeps with the damn phone next to her...Teenage girls are amazing. It really ticks me that she is actually more computer literate than I in some applications. When I am trying to figure it out, she looks at me like omg...she mom is so slow. She can key over 100wpm and is accurate.

Sailed right through school, top of the class. Top 3% in the SATs and now, starting 3rd year in college, she finally discovered boys. The talk with her has moved from school to having "boyfriend" injected in every conversation. And I still have no met him. Scary. -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of St. Louis Broadband Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 12:27 AM To: n...@brevardwireless.com; 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] OT - Text Messages LOL, u assume wrong.

Without a package its 25 a message, Which would have made your bill your standard monthly charge plus $7,625......... ".25x30500" I think the bigger question is. How much time is your daughter wasting texting while in school? /me assumes shes in highschool at 18 (senior I figure).

I have myself, my mother and my daughter on a family plan. My mother received 8 text messages, which I am sure she does not know that she has. I received 297 text messages. Some of those were forwards from another email account. However, my 18 year old daughter received 30,500 text messages! How can this be? How can they type on a qwerty board, or actual phone keypad faster than I on a laptop/computer? She has a facebook account, a twitter, and many other accounts/tech that I am not familiar with. Is this a sign of the times or of my age? I started in the Internet industry in 1993. I remember my first AOL annual bill totaling over $5k and this was for 28.8 kbps. That is when I figured that this industry was going to be profitable...darn me for daring to going into fixed wireless. Just had to rant...30,500 txt msgs...omg!
