As a data point, I went on a tour of the AT&T Global network operations center (in NJ) in mid October, and they showed us some stats -- one I recall is 2.3B texts on the AT&T network in the past 24 hours. So WhatsApp is closing in on half of AT&T's SMS volume.

- nivertech 15y agoI guess AT&T texts are mostly one-to-one, while WhatsApp's has much larger proportion of one-to-many. If one sending 1000 messages per day to a group of 1M - you get 1B (+1000) messages per day.
- bvdbijl 15y agoWhat is also very different is the way WhatsApp is used, as you break up messages in multiple bits sometimes, which doesn't matter because it's free anyway
