Thanks, Charlie for your info...
This is interesting... I'm curious to know about other European countries...
Meanwhile, here some 'numbers' from Asia ... for comparison..
in Hong Kong, where 83% of total population are using cellular-phones,
there're only 23 SMS messages sent per month  per head on average.
Meanwhile, in China 124, Singapore 219, and Philippines 466 SMS
messages/month!!
In Indonesia, telco company says it's 4 messages per day per head.. so in
average is roughly 120/mo...
