Norwegians sent 1'000 SMS per person in 2006

According to Aftenposten, Norwegians are the most enthusiastic users of text messaging in the world, sending 1,000 SMS per person in 2006 - or three message per day.

"Although the final figures for 2006 are not quite ready, it is likely that Norwegians set a new record, sending well over 4.5 billion SMS last year - or roughly 1,000 per person.

... Telenor's main competitor NetCom is also compiling their final figures for 2006, but can confirm that their customers average over 100 SMS each per month.

Mobile phone use is extremely high in Scandinavia, but neighboring Sweden does not share Norway's SMS dependency, with only an average of 30 SMS per month sent."
