Teen Averages 15,000 Text Messages A Month

2008/06/25

CANTON, Ohio -- A 15-year-old Ohio girl is very competitive: She gets good grades, plays sports ... and also has a natural talent at cell phone texting.

Paige Horne plays volleyball and basketball for her high school and her GPA is above 3.0. She can also text message someone faster than you can blink an eye, reported WEWS-TV in Cleveland.

Horne averages about 15,000 texts a month, the television station reported.

Horne didn't know about her hidden talent until she went to the cell phone store to get her phone fixed.

"When I went to the store to get my phone fixed, he told me the reason it might be dead because (of) that many text messages," said Horne.

Just like LeBron James with a no-look pass, she can even text without looking.

"I just don't look. I guess I had the phone a long time and I just know where the buttons are and I just hit them," she said.

Her texting does have a curfew, however: On school nights, the phone is shut off at 9 p.m. And her phone plan has unlimited texting included.

"Otherwise she wouldn't have a phone ... simple as that," her mom said.
