According to the Mobile Data Association (MDA), in 2009, 96.8 billion text messages were sent – that’s 11 million text messages per hour or 265 million per day. Recent research by Tekelec found that 60% of people over the age of 45 are now just as likely to use text messaging as they are to make a voice call.
It also revealed that 44% of 35 to 44-year-olds and 14% of over-45s send more than 30 text messages every week. more
