everyone over here does it , it beats email because 99% of people have phones and SMS is instant and cheaper than a usual phone call

yeah here in australia too... lots of people use sms's... i find it more convenient if you really don't need to talk to someone and just need to give them info... like an address or a phone no.

Its very popular in the UK, I suppose people use it so much because its so useful if your sending someone info only a few lines long and its cheap (much cheaper than a mobile phone call)

Its very popular in the hip hop scene to SMS

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

I do not like to be text messaged.

It takes me way to long to type into my number pad on my phone. I would just assume call someone.

It's enormously popular here in New Zealand, everyone has a cell phone and everyone under the age of 40 uses text messages. It's a whole other realm of communication. I personally dislike them for the most part, although they can be useful sometimes.

I live in the US, and I use it maybe a couple times a week. I don't have a special phone with the keyboards (i.e. T-Mobile sidekick) so typing just isn't convenient for me. I'd rather pay the 20c and make the one minute call to give whatever information I need to give.

We have the internet and we use emails. sms what for? It takes forever to type something and the phone's screen is tiny. I really don't see the use.

Its huge here in Australia. Every 14 year old kid in Australia has a phone and uses SMS every day. The penetration of mobile/cell phones in the states is very small compared to rest the of world due to network incompatibilited and basically because a lot of providers chose a shit network other than GSM.

do you also make 1 minutes call to ppl you haven;t seen since 6 months...?
a SMS saying "hi, what's up? are u alive" is more convenient

I don't use ICQ anymore.

Sms is big here in The Netherlands.

I used to "sms" a lot, but since my gf moved in with me, I don't use it that much anymore

here in Austrlia SMS is off it's head
teenage girls 14 years old are averaging $400 a month SMS bills

I dont see the point in it most of time

figure this:

by my estimation about 80% of SMS messages are sent saying less than 10 words.
Now - that will cost you 20 cents.

BUT if you CALL the person and have your phone contracted for per second billing - you can SAY it faster and cheaper than you can SMS it.

I know one girl who sends One word SMS's all day.
just saing "yes" or no" or "when" and "where"

By time she has a full sentance it's cost her $5 and she could have spoken it in less than 30 seconds and paid .45 cents

I wish I owned a phone network
