Verizon Wireless Customers Break SMS Record

July, 23rd - 2:40 pm ET | posted by in Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless customers set a new record in June by sending a combined total of more than 10 billion text messages. That’s more text messages in one month than any other carrier, and more than double Verizon’s SMS volume in September 2006 (when the company was the first to break the five billion messages a month mark).

Verizon’s cell phone customers also sent in excess of 200 million multimedia (photo, video) messages last month.

Verizon Wireless specifically credits cell phone models such as the LG enV, which were designed with messaging in mind.

    this is quite interesting.

    What does this say about there data plans and pricing compared to other carriers.

    I think it says a lot about the companies service and all the phones they carry in general: highly data friendly.

    I wonder if JDPower and the other award committee would start rating data and wireless usage in the mobile industry.

    its becoming a big part of the industry, it’ll be nice to know who is considered the best every year…

    Agree with CEOofDYear, Verizon has better phones, better plans and cooler features for multimedia.
