    Man sends 80,012 text messages in protest

    According to an article on AZCentral.com, a man in New Zealand sent an average of 2,580 text messages a day for a whole month to protest his cell phone provider cancelling their unlimited text messaging plan. I recently received a faulty cell phone bill for $2000 claiming that I sent 40,000 text messages in one month, which I thought was physically impossible. But apparently this man has doubled that number and managed to get 8 hours of sleep each night for the month!

                  I think what he did was already very good and if he can get the world attention, maybe he can change something.

                                  it probably would have flooded the servers, they said something about 100,000 txt messages being sent in a month.. imagine 10 times that every day.. it's not lazyness it's as intelligent as you can get while protesting digital messages from cell phone providers

                                              what a fucking cockhead. he is getting capped at 1000 test messages a month for only 7 bucks? is that correct or did i misread? he should be fuckin happy with that. it would cost me 250 bucks to send that many text messages. and who the fuck needs to send more than 1000 messages a month anyway.

                                                      Doesn't seem too hard, if you have a TON of numbers in your phone you can send a text message to every number on that phone. If you have well over 100 numbers you'd have to send 25.8 text messages per day which is more than possible, that's prolly what I average a day anyway.

                                                          Telecom spokeswoman Helen Isbister said a handful of people had sent more than 100,000 text messages in May.

                                                          That's fucking retarded, what would you use that many text messages on?!
