SMS crazy

Norwegians are the most enthusiastic users of mobile phone short text messages (SMS) in the world, and their passion keeps increasing.
Although the final figures for 2006 are not quite ready, it is likely that Norwegians set a new record, sending well over 4.5 billion SMS last year - or roughly 1,000 per person.
"That doesn't sound improbable. That is three messages per day. I send more than that. Every day there are 7-8 million text messages sent via Telenor's mobile network," Telenor information chief Per Aril Meling told web site h-avis.no.
Telenor's main competitor NetCom is also compiling their final figures for 2006, but can confirm that their customers average over 100 SMS each per month.
"In 2005 there were 1.6 billion text messages sent via our network. I would not be surprised if the figure approaches 2 billion for 2006," NetCom communication adviser Øyvind Vederhus told h-avis.no.
Mobile phone use is extremely high in Scandinavia, but neighboring Sweden does not share Norway's SMS dependency, with only an average of 30 SMS per month sent.

Free SMS Text Messaging Service from MarbellaGuide.com is Huge Success

The brand new free SMS text messaging service recently launched by MarbellaGuide.com is quickly becoming popular with Internet users from all over Europe.
Marbella, Spain (PRWeb) December 8, 2006 -- The brand new free SMS text messaging service recently launched by MarbellaGuide.com is quickly becoming popular with Internet users from all over Europe.
This service allows you to send three free SMS messages a day to mobile phones in Spain, the UK, Ireland, Germany and France, with more European countries coming soon. Just visit www.marbellaguide.com/free-sms.asp, sign up and send away!
"There are absolutely no strings attached to our new free SMS text messaging service," says Craig Edmonds, director and editor of MarbellaGuide.com. "We don't sell or share mobile numbers or e-mail addresses like other free SMS websites do. We simply add 'Please visit MarbellaGuide.com' to the end of the message to let people know about our website. That's all!"
This might not sound like much to ask in return for free SMS text messages to mobile phones in Europe, but all MarbellaGuide.com is after is attracting even more visitors to their already highly-popular website. "It's really about our visitors letting their friends know about MarbellaGuide.com," says Craig. "It works great for our users and it works great for us too!"
In fact, MarbellaGuide.com has already seen a significant rise in traffic since they began offering the free SMS service to Europe. What's more, people are even posting about the service on messaging boards and spreading the word by other means too, and lots of new users are signing in every day.
The huge popularity of Marbella Guide's free SMS service hardly comes as a surprise. Since the use of SMS became widespread a few years back, text messages have been a favourite means of communication in Europe. In 2005, for example, more than two thousand million SMS messages were sent each month in the United Kingdom alone, with similar figures in Spain and Ireland, and slightly less in Germany and France.
"The UK, Ireland, Germany and France also happen to be the top European countries with expatriates living in Spain," Craig explains, "so it made most sense to start with those. However, we are working on adding more countries to our SMS service in the near future."
This can only be good news to the thousands of users who have already signed up for this new SMS service from MarbellaGuide.com.

Ang Chuang Yang, 16, was one of more than 300 competitors to take part in Sunday's SMS Shootout, sponsored by Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel). The Raffles Institution student is now waiting for the feat to be accepted by the Guinness Book of World Records. The message he whizzed through is set by Guinness. It is: The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality, they seldom attack a human. Ang said he will aim for 39 seconds next year. SingTel shootout champion Kimberly Yeo put Singapore in the record book in 2004 with a time of 43.24 seconds for the same 160-character, 26-word message.
