Research carried out by Orange shows that texting is going out of fashion - it seems that when people start using Mobile-IM, they decrease their use of text messages.
“Of every 100 messages - including texts, emails and picture messages - sent by users without mobile instant messaging from their mobile phone or computer, 38 are text messages. Once consumers start using mobile instant messaging, the number of texts falls to 23 per 100.”
The head of Orange’s portal business, Matthew Kirk, says that older people continue to use text messaging and that the format is still doing booming business with Orange users sending an average of 1.3 billion texts from November to January.
