Filipinos and Chinese as top senders of text messages in 2007
Chinese and Filipinos vie for the distinction as top senders of text messages worldwide. China’s texting fans overtook Filipinos last year, sending 1.6 billion text messages daily last year, while Filipinos sent an average of 1 billion texts daily.
China has over 600 million mobile phone subscribers, which is higher than all the subscriber in the ten Southeast Asia countries. The Philippines have an estimated 50 million mobile phone subscribers as of last year.
I guess one of the reasons why the text messages sent here in our country doubled is because, most people uses at least two existing subscriber network. And as cellphone prices gets cheaper, the cost to get more than one unit is highly affordable.
