Robbie Williams Fans To Set Mobile Record in Milton Keynes

Robbie Williams fans will spend a total of almost 300 days making calls and will compose a body of text messages two-and-half times the length of the Complete Works of Shakespeare during the superstar's concerts in Milton Keynes this week.

Number crunchers at T-Mobile reckon gig-goers will spend a total of around 430,000 minutes on the phone over the five days of the concert from 14th to 19th September - that's a total of 298 days of voice calls. And if you reckon that the average text contains 12 words, Robbie fans at the gigs will write more than 2.1million words - three times more than the King James Bible and two-and-a-half times more than the Complete Works of Shakespeare.

The T-Mobile Trends Laboratory analysed figures from past concerts at the Milton Keynes National Bowl, including the Take That comeback gigs earlier this year. Take That crowds made an unprecedented 108,249 calls and sent 67,882 text messages using the T-Mobile network during two concerts in Milton Keynes earlier this year as they desperately tried to share the experience with as many of the their friends as they could. Analysts, however, predict that Robbie fans will top even these record figures.
