I created this topic out of curiosity.
I have read the other topic about how often you use your phone, where the call time was the basis for frequency of phone use.
Let's talk about SMS usage here. I just want to compare how people from around the world use the messaging functions of the phone.
For the two weeks that I have been using my phone, the message counter reads:
Sent text msgs: 261
Sent picture msgs: 0
Do you people use messaging more than voice calls? In my case, it turns out that way.

I send about 5 sms every day not much i know and pic messages perhaps 1 a month

When call charge per minute, equals one sms msg, you can talk more unless you want to send numerical records. I send hardly 2 sms in a month. No mms.

I used to use SMS quite a bit more than I do now. Maybe 2 a day now, used to be around 10-15 a day before one friend moved to Japan and another started working much more.

Good for you. In my country, a phone call costs six times that of sending an SMS -- so you could see the reason why most of us resort to sending SMS instead of making phone calls.
If ever that happens (1 SMS = 1 minute of voice call), maybe I'd be enticed to use voice calls more than sending SMS.

About 5 sms's a day with perhaps 3 MMS's a week.

Here, we've got
0.20US$/minute for each call
0.16US$/minute for each SMSl
5.50US$/month for unlimited MMS sending.
(i converted the pricse to US$)
do these tend to be cheaper, more expensive or roughly the same than were u guys are.

I worked out from my bill (how many extra texts i pay for on top of the 500 free) and my average (based on 30 day month) is:
23.3333333333 (rec).

In Nigeria, a voice call per minute costs slightly more than 4 times the cost of a single SMS. So, automatically, I text a lot.
SMS = 60%
Voice Call = 20%
GPRS Internet = 20%
MMS is currently free on my network (Globacom), and so I use it without restriction.

I hardly send sms anymore, I do most by e-mail for long messages and for short messages, well I drop a quick call. mms I never do anymore as e-mail with attachment is much easier.

erm - about 20 or so anyway

Depends on the day, it could be as high as 100 per day or low as 2.
