Seven Day Spring Festival, 12 Billion Text Messages

An estimated 12 billion short text messages will be sent through mobile phones in China during the current seven day Spring Festival. Approximately 1 billion short text messages were sent for the entire year in 2000.

While this volume sounds huge, it's only about 30 messages per subscriber. There are currently about 400 million mobile phone subscribers in China.
