Each Dane sends 102 SMS messages per month
In the first six months of 2004, the 5.4 million Danes have sent 2,958,045,000 SMS messages - or 102 per month on average. In the same period, the Danes sent 4,367,000 MMS messages.

Thanks, Charlie for your info... This is interesting... I'm curious to know about other European countries... Meanwhile, here some 'numbers' from Asia ... for comparison.. in Hong Kong, where 83% of total population are using cellular-phones, there're only 23 SMS messages sent per month per head on average. Meanwhile, in China 124, Singapore 219, and Philippines 466 SMS messages/month!! In Indonesia, telco company says it's 4 messages per day per head.. so in average is roughly 120/mo... -merlyna- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charlie Breindahl" <hitch@hum.ku.dk> To: <air-l@aoir.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 2:01 PM Subject: [Air-l] Each Dane sends 102 SMS messages per month

Dear Charlie, Only about 4 of the 5,4 million Danes have a mobile phone, and MSN Messenger is bigger with about 1.000.000.000 messages per month even though only about 740.000 Danes use MSN Messenger. http://www.mediawatch.dk/8.0/naviger.asp Regards Jesper Charlie Breindahl wrote:

Dear all, I don't have the numbers, but in Thailand people don't use SMS that much at all. Right now it is mostly used for people voting their preferences in TV games. There have been talks about telecom companies raking in a lot of money when their subscribers send their messages for voting, the cost of which is much higher than ordinary sending. Part of the reason why SMS is not popular here may be a technical and linguistic one. Thai alphabet system is quite complicated, so it is rather hard to type on the tiny keypad on the cell phone. There are more than sixty different letters for each consonant, vowel, and tone in Thai, so getting them all on the keypad is quite a task. Cheers, Soraj
