Verizon customers send and receive 10 billion texts

It seems crazy, right? But the numbers are in: Verizon subscribers are texting maniacs. The 10 billion texts sent and received from their subscribers is a company record, and we’re sure it has to be an all-time monthly record. Of course, AT&T does have more subscribers, so they conceivably could have it, but we’re even having a hard time wrapping our heads around the 10 billion figure. There were also 200 million multimedia messages sent to and from Verizon customers, which means a nice chunk of change for Verizon: $50 million (200 million messages at 25 cents a pop). [Reuters]]]>
