How many txt messages have been sent in 2008, & what percentage of mobile users have txt plans?

I guess i'm looking for any mobile statistics, in various parts of the world (but mostly the U.S.).

I've done some looking around but I seem to be finding much more on the future of mobile as far as apps, and it being fully integrated with the internet... which doesn't quite help for what I am trying to solve.


Any help is appreciated but data from 2007-2008 is most appreciated!

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In 2000, just 17 billion SMS messages were sent; in 2001, the number was up to 250 billion, and 500 billion SMS messages in 2004

In the third quarter of 2006, at least 10 billion text messages crossed AT&T's network, up almost 15 percent from the preceding quarter

35% of all mobile phone users worldwide or 4.2 Million out of 7.3 Million phone subscribers at end of 2003 being active users of the Short Message Service (SMS). North America is rapidly catching up with over 40% active users of SMS by end of 2006.

All of this found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_messaging
