| 345903 | 2005-04-17 06:48:00 | According the the intrepid NZ Herald (www.nzherald.co.nz), Robert Vevey sends 8,000 text messages a month. And that's down from 15,000 per month he was doing before Telecom capped him. Just imagine being one of his mate's on the receiving end. Ugh! This guy must have an amazingly busy and exciting life/work that necessitates co-ordinating with so many people using 8,000 text messages. Or maybe he's just like other young people sending petty and meaningless text messages to each other. |

| 345904 | 2005-04-17 07:51:00 | Doesnt Telecoms Terms and conditions say that if you go over your 500 limit that you can have it restricted? | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 345905 | 2005-04-17 08:12:00 | or he could just be on boost, and pay extra for every extra text sent | Prescott (11) | ||
| 345906 | 2005-04-17 13:58:00 | IIRC, the /. article I read said the most was something like 83,000 in the last month of free unlimited txt'ing. I use to send up to 3500 a month, but now find that it can be difficult even doing 400 now Im on Vodafones OnAccount Motormouth (200mins anytime VF 2 VF + 200 txts). |

And that's down from 15,000 per month he was doing before Telecom capped him . Just imagine being one of his mate's on the receiving end . Ugh! Is that for real? A rough calculation suggests that 8,000 would be one message every four minutes for sixteen hours a day . Does he have life? 15,000 would be around one every two minutes for eighteen hours a day, allowing for 31 days in the month . If true, that is the saddest and most pathetic thing I've seen in years . :groan: Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 345909 | 2005-04-18 12:54:00 | Is it true that you cannot use a telecom to text to an overseas mobile and the other way around also? 500 text does not apply to overseas texting rite? |

The guy must be sending the same message to multiple people at once . No bloody way can he be doing it one at a time . He's gotta eat, empty his bowels, brush his teeth, drive a car etc . . . |
