SMS on the way to US!

Its rare to see teenagers without their mobiles! Now a days we can see many offers as rate cutter, booster pack.. it goes on.. and ppl are addicted to sms.



Americans for the first time send text messages more than they phoned! The average subscriber’s volume of text messages has shot upward by 64 percent, while the average number of calls has dropped slightly!

Spike in messaging to the spread of QWERTY-style keypads, whose users send 54 percent more text messages than those with ordinary keypads. Phone companies are encouraging users to text by offering large or unlimited text-messaging bundles.

Teenagers ages 13 to 17 are by far the most prolific texters, sending or receiving 1,742 messages a month! By contrast, 18-to-24-year-olds average 790 messages. A separate study of teenagers with cellphones found that 42 percent of them claim that they can write text messages while blindfolded!
