Background to the US data is here: http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online_mobile/african-americans-women-and-southerners-talk-and-text-the-most-in-the-u-s/
For British data, see http://www.text.it/mediacentre/sms_figures.cfm - which I reckon works out at 4 per man, woman and child per day! But the problem with averages is that they don't tell you what the underlying distribution looks like: probably very right skewed!
