UK mobiles are highest text users in Europe

6104Y1SA9VL._AA280_.jpg People in the UK send more text messages than any other nation in Europe, new research shows, reports The Guardian.

"An average of 100 text messages are sent by UK mobile users each month, according to a worldwide survey of 10,000 mobile phone owners by media agency Universal McCann.

That compares with an average of 65 for Germans and 32 texts each month for Americans

The study also showed that the British are more inclined to use their mobile phones for texting than for talking. UK mobile owners dedicate less than half their mobile usage to direct conversation."
