Text Messaging Racks Up A Huge Phone Bill

Text messaging is regarded as one of the current teen generation's inexplicable behaviors. Teenagers are texting furiously for years.Texting is unique because it is a quick and easy form of communication. Billions of text messages are sent every day.

Text-messaging is how kids feel comfortable communicating today.For a teenager to send thousands of text messages a month is not unusual

According to a Washington Post report, teenagers' incessant text-messaging habits are blowing their budget with a huge phone bill on the family's wireless plan.

Wireless companies, meanwhile, are rolling out new packages to meet demand. Last month Verizon Wireless introduced an unlimited texting plan because even its highest bundle of free text messages -- 5,000 a month -- wasn't enough.

Parents seem to accept this new reality and are switching to wireless plans that allow unlimited text messages, which pile $10 to $30 a month on top of an already hefty expense that didn't even exist a decade ago.
