Dear all,

I couldn't find data on the quanitity of SMS and MMS messages send in Austria. But, according to the Austrian Internet Monitor, 37% of internet users use frequently web SMS (sending SMS via the WWW). 79% of Austrians over 14 do have a cell phone, 97% in the group of 14-19 year olds (http://mediaresearch.orf.at/index2.htm?internet/internet_aim.htm). Cheers,

Philipp
