Shortly I hope to be reading a few news releases from various operators, or perhaps the Mobile Data Association themselves to see how many text messages are sent today (it being the 14th of Feb).
It was to the MDA’s www.text.it information site that I turned for statistics on last year’s Valentine’s Day traffic in the UK. On their Facts & Figures page, I found this:
92 million text messages were sent by Britons on Valentine’s Day 2005, compared to the estimated 12 million cards sent.
I’m going out on a limb and I’m going to guess that 92 million messages in 2005 will rise to 100 million+ for 2006. In fact let’s be specific: 102 million exactly. There you go. Plucked that out of thin air. If I get it right, I will award myself a Dominos pizza on Wednesday.
