Philippines is no longer the texting capital

During China's New Year, each of China's cell phone user sent 30 messages a day. Guess how much that amounted to? $148 million!!! That is 12.6 billion messages.

And we think we are still the texting capital of the world??? According to Ericsson, 200,000 text messages are sent daily in the Philippines. (actually that rate is wrong I learned later, it should be 2 million from 16 million cellphone users). That figure for China was made only in eight days. And the news was that two years ago, the figure was 200 billion.

More than 300 billion text messages sent last year in China. They have about 400 million cellphone users in China. How many??? Every Filipino must have at least five cellphones each to beat that.

Other blogs are still saying that Philippines is still the texting capital of the world. These idiots are just that. Blogging idiots. Quote me.
