Beijingers sent over 400 million text messages of greetings on the eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year, raking in huge profits for the two service providers.
Figures released on Sunday by Beijing Mobile and Beijing Unicom, two major telecommunications operators in the Chinese Capital, showed that about 5,800 text messages were sent per second on Saturday in Beijing on the eve of Spring Festival, the most important celebration of the Chinese people.
That’s a HECK of a lot of text messages….
