Guy gon crzy, snt 5.5lac SMS in 1 mnth

Well, I always thought that Indians were addicted to SMS, thanks to various promotions like 1 paisa/SMS by Reliance among other communications. But this time, a guy from Gujarat set a new record of sending 5,54,000 SMSs from his cell phone in January:
Twenty-five-year-old software engineer, Nitin Thakor has set a new record of sending over five-and-a-half lakh SMSs in just 30 days in Gandhinagar.
IBN also says, that 5,54,000 SMSs in 30 days = 1 SMS every five seconds!!! That's obviously assuming that you are sending one SMS to one person at a time, which is definitely not the case:
This means on an average, Nitin sent one SMS every five seconds, 13 messages ever one minute, 718 messages ever hour and 18,705 messages every day.

Now noting he is a Gujarati, ofcourse money is important factor. Lucky him, wasn't charged a single penny as he was under a service plan where he could send as many as 1 crore (10 million) SMSs in a single month... I want that plan, not for sending 5,54,000 SMSs, but maybe a few thousands a month you know. After all, cheap telecom services in India got me addicted to SMS
