According to many sources, about 16.8 billion chargeable person-to-person text messages were sent across the four UK GSM networks in 2002.
But what do you think about sending an sms not only for delivering a message but for showing a picture, a video ??
I think most of people nowadays keep having a very traditional use of the SMS. They are really helpfull, they can explain in a few words what you don't want to say in a long dialogue...
To me, consumers are becoming more and more comfortable with the use of their mobile phones as a device for communicating with their friends, colleagues and family.
In the future I hope and think that there will be more ways to send and receive text messages, for example dedicated web sites or business intranets as well as mobile phones.
On the other hand, partnerships with television, radio, advertisers, news sites, public sector agencies, celebrity and band promoters, for example will create a larger range of interactive text based services. There are many recent examples of this interactivity : like Channel 4's Big Brother, BBC's Fame Academy and ITV's Popstars. All these programmes votes and all that stuff with the bias of the cellphone.
Finally, if we consider that just like in Japan we will receive really soon television on our phones : why can't we imagine a new form of sms whith extracts of tv programms and son on ???
