Nick Andes, 29, of Marietta, Pa., and Doug Klinger, 30, of Berks County, said they texted each other nonstop from March 7 to April 6 to break the record of 182,000 text messages sent and received by India's Deepak Sharma in 2005, The (Lancaster, Pa.) Intelligencer-Journal reported Wednesday. Advertisement "Right now, I'm pretty much done with texting," Andes said Tuesday. He said the record-setting feat nearly saddled him with a $26,000 bill from T-Mobile, despite his unlimited texting plan. He said the bill was waived but a spokeswoman for the company asked him to refrain from record attempts in the future. "She told me it was a violation of their misuse and abuse policy," Andes said. "She wanted to know my intentions and to assure her this was a one-time thing ... They weren't as enthusiastic about this as everybody else seems to be."
