Going by the name "Lgvoyagerguy" on YouTube, the iPhone aficionado posted a 5 minute clip in which he assembles the evidence for his miraculous texting spree. The feat, he claims, is a record.

There's plenty of room for skepticism, however: assuming the video isn't entirely fake, sending and receiving 22,075 messages per day is hardly something you could do manually.

Even if real, then, it's likely this was done by automated means, like signing up to every SMS alert service under the sun. And if automated, does that really count as a legitimate record? (It wouldn't be the first mammoth AT&T bill, however: Apple fan iJustine famously received a 300 page itemized bill shortly after purchasing an iPhone - we know AT&T isn't shy about wasting paper.) The video was picked up by TUAW last week and the GOGII blog today, where we discovered it (via @drew).
