2.4B text messages and counting
AD:TECH has these interesting stats on texting...although I wonder what percentage of these messages never make it to their destination. I find that at least 5-10% of my text messages never arrive. Is that because of the quality of the cellular networks or the fact that the networks are now deluged with text messages and unable to handle the vast numbers?
Text messaging is on the rise in the US , with a reported 2.4 billion messages being sent every month (compared to 1 billion per day in Europe) -- and 80% of US text messaging comes from 12-30 year-olds.
