Students want their GCSEs by SMS

A survey of teens in the UK by mobile messaging provider Freever reveals that about a third of 18-year-olds would rather receive A level or GCSE exam scores by text messaging instead of postal mail:

"While 98 per cent of 16-23-year-olds own a mobile phone, just 20 per cent of 16-year-olds wanted to get grades by text rather than having them posted, and only 26 per cent of 21-year-olds wanted to get further education results sent to their mobile."
