26 Short Messaging System Per Day

I did a clean-up on my mobile phone 2 nights ago and I found out one surprising phenomenon.

I had 2952 sms-es in my sent mailbox. Yes, I am able to save so many sms-es because I am using a PDA Phone. That 2952 sms-es are all sent within approximately 3.5 months.

In average, I sent 26 SMS messages per day. That is like 1.x SMS messages per hour.

If I send 26 SMS messages per day, that will make 780 SMS messages per month and 9360 SMS messages per year! Only 1 person... Imagine all 27 million people in Malaysia, each send 15 SMS messages per day.

1 user
15 SMS per day
450 SMS per month
5400 SMS per year

27 million users
145800 million SMS per year!

Wow... RM0.01 per SMS... how much is that?

But then of course not all Malaysian send SMS everyday...
