I`m sure the greatest texters or most in "love" Koreans could get up there too. I can only imagine how much that must have cost him considering it costs to receive them as well as send in the US

For a while you could get unlimited text messages for a set fee, in New Zealand. A fun thing to do was to 'text bomb' somebody. Whereby you keep forwarding them a text as many times as possible so it clogged up there inbox.

Now there is a limit of 1000 per month. This girl probably sent a lot of bulk texts to all her contacts. Sending a text every 2 mins doesn't seem possible.
