Fred Lidgren proudly owns the world record for texts sent and received in one month with a figure of 566,607 and for proof, all you need to see is how his T-Mobile bill arrives each month; instead of coming in the snail mail in an envelope, his bill is sent in the form of a rather large parcel...

18,800 messages a day, 786 messages per hour and 13 messages per minute. WOOW.

I'd hate to be one of his friend and see this d**k head is sending me like 100,000 texts a month out of the 566,607.

I wonder what phone he's using and how often does he have to change his phone because the keyboard fails...

I think sending text messages to a lot of people will not be a problem if you enroll your contacts into groups. You send only one text to the group and all of them will receive the same text message individually. So in 20 seconds, depending on the number of people you have enrolled in the group, you would have sent so much number of text messages.
What intrigues me though is what job does he do that would entail such a lot of texting in one month... maybe he sends out advertisements, or maybe campaign materials?

Sorry for double posting, but if he is earnest in paying his monthly bills, maybe TMO should give him an MVC Award? You know, the Most Valuable Customer Award?

So much for going green. How many trees a year does this clown waste just for his paper bill. T Mo should charge him for billing and shipping. No wonder they want to keep raising the rates and it only hurts us that hardly use the services. I pay 30 a month for about 100 text on my family plan and he send 1/2 mil for same price.

Bet it cost way more then that to send his bill.

I'm sure TMO makes money from this Lidgren guy otherwise all that texting would already have been throttled by the carrier. Also, I'm sure this guy is not sending out that much text messages for the fun of it. I'm sure he earns money from it all.
So it's a win-win situation for TMO and this Mr. Lidgren.
But one of the posts that makes sense is the suggestion that he be enrolled in paperless billing.

Can't this guy enroll in paperless billing so there isn't such a waste of paper? He actually seems like a douche bag.
