First love phone use could result in a monthly phone bill rise by as much as £304 in just a month for Britains parents as they attempt to manage household spend, according to a study by Tesco Mobile.
Over half of teens (55%) admit to more than doubling the number of texts or calls while 38% will at least double their normal data consumption to engage online with their new crush.
At the most extreme, almost one-in-ten lovestruck teens (9%) revealed they made at least ten times more phone calls than normal and 16% said their texting increased tenfold.
Social media usuage also rapidly increases when the love bug bites. Teens' excessive tagging of photographs, updating relationship statuses, following their new boyfriend or girlfriend's every move on Twitter and Facebook means 38% of teens ramp up additional data charges.
Almost one in three teens (31%) admit they have gone way over the limits set by their parents on a mobile phone bill due to getting a new girlfriend or boyfriend. That’s higher than other popular teen uses such as social media (27%), listening to music online (14%) or watching films or TV (11%).
Simon Groves, Chief Marketing Officer, Tesco Mobile comments: "Mobile phones have transformed the nature of how our kids communicate and keep in touch and no more so than when it comes to young love."
