Record Breaking September For Text Messages
September was another record breaking month for text messaging, with over 3.7 billion sent during the month, according to the latest figures from the Mobile Data Association (MDA).
This figure is an increase of 100 million on the previous highest total of 3.6 billion recorded in August (see Text Messaging For August Soars To Record Levels).
The MDA says that this represents an average of 123 million messages being sent per day throughout the last month, a year on year increase of 30%.
The total of messages sent so far this year has reached 29 billion, which is closing in on the MDA’s prediction that 40 billion messages will be sent this by the end of December.
