One of my colleagues did this with our automated notification system. After his phone received about $60 worth of text messages, he panicked and shut down the server!

Then again $60 is only about 1200 messages.

You must not be in the US..

Yeah, that's like $10,000 to $20,000 in text messages.

[ajju]

What? Are you saying it costs nearly $10 per message or more? How can 1200 messages cost $10K - $20k?

That's what we call "speaking in hyperbole"

I was using the OP's count of 96000 messages.

I am, he had a package where each message cost him $5c.
