By the way, the last paragraph doesn't really hold considering here in Europa we are unwrapping the gifts on Christmas Eve, not on Christmas Day.]]>Dec 26th 2007 7:00PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/12/26/swiss-send-ludicrous-number-of-texts-on-christmas-christmas-eve/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/12/26/swiss-send-ludicrous-number-of-texts-on-christmas-christmas-eve/
I sent about 30 to 40 texts between the two days... but I'm 21 / middle class. I don't represent the (sad) majority of the world.]]>Dec 26th 2007 7:11PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/12/26/swiss-send-ludicrous-number-of-texts-on-christmas-christmas-eve/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/12/26/swiss-send-ludicrous-number-of-texts-on-christmas-christmas-eve/Dec 26th 2007 7:40PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/12/26/swiss-send-ludicrous-number-of-texts-on-christmas-christmas-eve/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/12/26/swiss-send-ludicrous-number-of-texts-on-christmas-christmas-eve/

Here's the link: http://www.teletica.com/archivo/tn7/nac/2007/12/26/27725.htm (in Spanish though)

Considering Costa Rica has just over 4 million people, that would be an average of over 20 messages per person. And if you just take into account subscribers, that's a whopping 50+ messages per subscriber.

Of course, each message costs only $0.003, so even if you send 150 messages you wouldn't even spend 50 cents. ]]>Dec 27th 2007 5:23AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/12/26/swiss-send-ludicrous-number-of-texts-on-christmas-christmas-eve/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/12/26/swiss-send-ludicrous-number-of-texts-on-christmas-christmas-eve/Texting was so backed up on Christmas. I have AT&T and it was taking hours to recieve (or for the recieving party to receive) text messages. A friend of mine had similar problems on T-Mobile.

Shouldn't the networks be more prepared for something like that?]]>Dec 28th 2007 12:22PM
