The Text
Philly resident Nick Andes tested the limits of unlimited texting plans when he and a friend fired off 217,000 messages between each other in a one-month period, shattering the previous world record of 182,000. Most of the communiqués were kept to a succinct, "LOL" or "hello."
The Turnabout
For stressing its network, T-Mobile hammered Andes with a $26,000 phone bill. Yowch! Fortunately, Andes eventually convinced T-Mo customer service to respect the definition of "unlimited."

Hey unlimited is unlimited!

Perhaps these folks need a dictionary. Unlimited is UNLIMITED. Without limits. Good that they dropped the bill finally. Besides, they make money off people who subscribe to unlimited and dont use that many texts.

Let's bear in mind the first Neandarthal who taught himself to use a rock as a tool and how long it took other Neandarthals to catch on.Anyone sending indiscriminatingly long text messages is either out of work or up to mischief and has nothing better to do with their time.The phone company should have slammed them for the full fine.Pain is instructive.

The phone company was the one stupid enough to put "unlimited" in the contract. Sure, they probably never expected someone to take it to the logical extreme, but as you say, "Pain is instructive."
