Cell phone messaging increasing in U.S.
By Ben Charny, ZDNet News

Short Messaging Service (SMS) is popular overseas, but most U.S. residents rarely use their phones for anything other than making a voice call. However, that seems to be changing

People in the United States are using their cell phones more often to send terse 160-character messages to other cell phones, a trend already wildly popular overseas. 

There are 750 million of these cell phone messages sent each day worldwide, nearly all by wireless users outside the United States, according to the GSM Association, a wireless industry group. Teenagers in Japan send so many messages that they have learned to touch-type on a cell phone's cramped keypad. In Ireland, beer-maker Guinness raises messaging to an art form by sponsoring contests for poetry composed on cell phones.
