- Lewton 9y agoNot even close to the same degree that texting was popular in europe
- _acme 9y agoI (from the US) studied in France in 2003. In the US, most college sophomores at a very affluent school may not have even had mobile phones, let alone texted using them. In Paris, everyone had a mobile phone and everyone texted. There was a huge difference until a few years later (after I had graduated, with respect to mobile use generally and then the Blackberry and really then the iPhone did make texting popular).
- pishpash 9y agoThis sounds wrong. Almost everyone had a cell phone by 2003. I remember because we all stopped subscribing to dorm landlines. Here's a chart, population of US is 320M: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/Annual_Cell_Phone_Subscriptions_-_United_States_1985_to_2010.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/Annual_C...
