SMS sent over New Year's Eve: Final Roundup

The figures published from around the world on text messages sent over New Year's are quietly rounding up. Click here, to view numbers from the UK, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, the Czech Republic, India and South Africa.

Embarrasingly absent, figures from the US. There were so few text messages sent it in America that is has not been worth mentioning? I have yet to see an article or a press release.

Also disapointing, reports of MMS sent over New Year's Eve. The only operators who even mentioned MMS sent over their networks were in Switzerland.

Update In an article titled 'Wild Night for SMS' The Australian newspaper reported on January 3 that Telstra Australia had delivered 62,000 MMS on Dec 31. (Thanks Kevin!)
