Consumers across Asia are the most prolific users of mobile messaging and are forecast to further drive message volume in 2008, a research firm commented in early January 2008. Nearly 1.5 trillion mobile messages were sent in the Asia-Pacific region over the previous 12 months, accounting for 78.9 per cent of all SMS traffic globally last year, said a Gartner’s report. Nearly 2.3 trillion SMS messages are expected to be transmitted in 2008, a 19.6 per cent increase from the 2007 figure.
