OMG, A TXT MESS

A New Jersey father discovered to his horror that his 16-year-old daughter rang up a whopping $1,058 cellphone bill, reports the New York Post.

The bill covered a month and a half, was more than 200 pages long and listed more than 12,000 text messages. Ashley had sent and received almost all of them while she was in school.

Ashley "no longer has a cellphone," said her father, who now knows why his daughter has been failing math and social studies.

Her cellphone bill showed messages sent "at 8:01, 8:02, 8:03, 8:04 — all the way through to 3 p.m. on some days," he said. "Everyone in school" is doing it, he added.
