Another. Undated. Avg sms per month per subscriber = 600. Or 20 a day. Which seems low, I'm sure I've seen figures alot higher than this.

- poldoga 8y agoFilipino here, gonna have to agree. Its not really tech adoption but more 'new modes of communication' adoption. We adopted SMS like wildfire and now its the same with Facebook/Messenger. Gonna be a good bet that those 10hrs are disproportionately spent on FB properties. Lack of net neutrality also helps build a bigger FB wall - for most telcos its free to use messenger and facebook.
