The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) announced today that Canadians sent more than 54 million person-to-person text messages during the month of September 2008. This represents a tripling in monthly usage in the 18 months since the April 2007 launch of North America's first inter-carrier text messaging network by Canada's wireless carriers.
The industry is excited about how Canadians are increasingly adding text messaging to their choices for instant and inexpensive ways to communicate," said CWTA President & CEO Peter Barnes. "In addition to this one million milestone for person-to-person text messages, we are seeing a rapid deployment of text messaging programs using common short codes, such as TV and radio voting, contests and other interactive campaigns.
