Think of IM and how many hundreds of messages sent and received in a single conversation. Move this to a phone and you can see that it isn't all that much.]]>Aug 28th 2008 1:49PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/Aug 28th 2008 3:09PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/
This is still really low. I would hardly say "Americans are finally warming up en masse to text messaging as a totally valid means of communicating." The breakdown of figures was to show that while 95.4 billion is very large in volume, when shown how low in volume it is per user, it still shows there is along way to go before text messaging en masse is used for having conversations.]]>Aug 28th 2008 4:21PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/Aug 28th 2008 5:24PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/Aug 28th 2008 2:08PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/
"said it delivered 95.4 billion inter-carrier text messages in the first half of 2008"

No telling how many more messages internal to VZW or ATT went uncounted.]]>Aug 28th 2008 5:09PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/Aug 28th 2008 5:45PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/Aug 28th 2008 5:17PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/Aug 28th 2008 11:40PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/
Last month I sent a touch over 3000, recieved the same (busy month!), but that isn't typical. Combine that with regular spam bombs of 200-300+ texts outgoing from me and others of my friends, its very easy to see how such a number is possible.]]>Aug 29th 2008 12:29AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/28/omg-us-txtng-brks-rcrd/
Most of my friends have Verizon. One has AT&T (iPhone, such an outcast!).

Someone I text a lot has Sprint. I'm not sure if they count whenever I text her as Helio is a Sprint MVNO...]]>Aug 29th 2008 12:33AM
