Verizon : 5 Billion Served in September

Verizon announced today that in the month of September its customers sent and received 5 billion text messages.  This represents a 150% increase over the same time period last year.

Also last month, Verizon Wireless customers shared more than 100
million PIX and FLIX multimedia messages. The trend with TXT Messages also
holds true for Verizon Wireless’ PIX and FLIX Messages as the company also
had an increase of more than 150 percent for multimedia messages for the
month, compared to one year ago.

That is a whole lot of text messages.  I wonder if anyone is using the Verizon Wireless G’zOne Type-V Phone I wrote about a week or two ago.  You know, the water resistent one?
