What is the World Record for Text Messages Sent in a Month?

If you have been following mainstream media for the last couple of days, you may have heard about a 13-year-old girl who sent 14,000 text messages in a single month. That sounds like a lot of SMS, but it pales in comparison to the official world record.

A 14-year-old girl from Florida, for instance, used her Sprint phone to send and receive somewhere in the neighborhood of 35,000 text messages. This wasn’t just one freak of nature kind of month either, because she repeated the feat at least one other time. For those of you looking to crunch the numbers, this works out to nearly 1200 text messages a day.

Given these two examples, you’d almost assume that teenage girls were the SMS rulers of the land. Wrong! As it turns out, the person who holds the Guinness World Record for text messages sent in a single month is Deepak Sharma, a grown man. Whereas those girls were able to bring their text messages into five figures, Mr. Sharma bumped it up to six figures.

The current record calls for 182,689 messages in a single month. This works out to 6,100 messages a day or 4.2 messages a minute. In this way, he was effectively sending or receiving a text message every fifteen seconds. These guys had better have unlimited texting plans, because if they were paying for each one at 20 cents or so, Deepak would owe over $36,000 for that month in SMS charges alone.

I’m clearly well behind this trend, as I’ve never sent more than 100 text messages a month.

    Deviating from the aforementioned imbecilic ripostes from Ajmal , Sum Ting Wong , John Baptiste , and Sukhpinder Jatha, I am going to be scrupulous and fairly candid in saying that the paramount figure of messages envoy-ed in a period of a months, is 3 for me. I deem myself to exist as a bit of a neo- luddite and am regularly greeted by the words “antiquated” and “obsolete “. However I am not exclusively a technophobe, de facto I quite enjoy the leisure of some cohorts of technological contrivances

    Considering that my carrier charges the ridiculously high sum of roughly $10 a gigabyte for mobile data, and that an SMS message is up to 160 bytes long (including header), I can send the equivalent of 671,088 text message for a dollar.  It would cost his mobile carrier the unimaginably large sum of nearly 28 cents to carry all those text messages (Assuming that there where all 140 character long).  

    • John baptist

  • txmom

    my 18 yr old daught has this record beat by a long shot she text over 947,000 in one month time

    • Tyler

      That’s impossible, but thanks for trying! =D There are only 2,592,000 seconds in a month. That would lead your daughter into texting once per 2.737 seconds. SENDING and RECEIVING a text takes around 3 seconds on average. No matter how fast she texts, there is no way she can receive and send that many, unless she is receiving texts from all around the world from more people than Paris Hilton has as slaves.

    • http://michaelkwan.com Michael Kwan

      @Tyler, While I don’t necessarily believe txmom and her claim, you’re thinking about *single* text messages. What’s to stop the daughter from having a quick-send list of thousands of ppl and mass texting all these people at once?

    • http://www.mobilemag.com admin

      sounds like cheating to me ;>

    • John baptist

      Oi my dad’s richer than you ban pickadick from the whole site

      well i probably wouldnt believe it my self but i seen it with my own eyes on my cell phone bill and it is possible

    • Tyler

      You are probably right, hehe. But still… who would waste that much time? ugh, I hate when people waste time on stupid shit and don’t use it productively to help improve the World’s economy or technology or human capital.

    I've heard of these records before, and I simply don't buy it. An average of four text messages per minute, every minute of every hour, every hour of every day, every day of the month? Factor out at least a few hours a day for sleep and the numbers become even more suspect.

  • guest

    I had 35,895 this month.
