Texting the New Way to Communicate

With well over 80% of UK adults now owning mobiles, such as the Samsung Pixon 12 – it’s worthwhile to take a look at how this impacts how people communicate. First off, keep in mind that there are nearly 74 million mobile connections, with some 44% of UK adults using text messaging on a daily basis. The UK customer sends on average nearly 70 text messages per month, with usage expecting to

increase. 3G subscriptions are growing at a rapid clip. Data from the end

of 2007 put them at 12.5 million. Both texting and picture messaging have

found their way into the vocabularies of mobile users, with no end in

sight.

The trend observed by the Mobile Data Association (MDA) in 2008 was all

about the difference in SMS and MMS usage. The value of MMS technology comes through when a specific event happens, for example over the Christmas period MMS usage peaks. Two numbers worth noting, the total number of

text messages (SMS) sent in 2008 total 78.9 billion, and the total number

of picture messages (MMS) sent in 2008 total 553 million. People are

communicating more and more in short bytes of information, in ways never

thought possible just ten years ago.

The mobile phone industry itself rose out of the cellular phone industry,

which has a long history, but it was only since the late 1990s that

mobiles have taken over, and really only in the last few years that

mobiles have grown from a popular phenomena to a popular necessity. With

fees from network providers now falling into the totally affordable range,

people have flocked to the well. Texting and picture messaging data are

analysed with a fine-toothed comb. The results of the studies may well

determine how the next model of mobile looks and reacts. Buying trends are

based on certain attributes, and the ability of these phones to handle

communication needs is probably pretty close to the top in terms of what

consumers look for.
