Verizon Wireless delivered more than five billion TXT messages in September 2006 — a new monthly record for both the company and the U.S. wireless industry. This represents an increase of 150 percent – or an increase of three billion messages a month – for the same time period in 2005.
Also last month, Verizon Wireless customers shared more than 100 million PIX and FLIX multimedia messages.
