the mean isn't a robust statistic. i don't think your inference is correct in this case.
a single user can theoretically throw the mean off from the central tendency completely. i would imagine there are a few users that send a lot more text messages and calling more than most people, biasing the result. it would be more useful to talk about the median in this case, i think.
Agreed. I know many ppl who send 1000 or more texts per month. But I don't think there exist many in the world who make that many calls for personal use.
