Ditto. It's a very good use for a mobile phone. :o)

The system in the US is not really set up to foster SMS usage (many have  
to pay to *recieve* a message). A small country like Denmark send many  
times the SMS'es of the USA. A story from late 2004 mentions that the  
average American user sends 13 messages per year, the average Danish user  
sends 66 messages per *month* (I'm at approx. 20 messages per month).

In the first 6 months of 2005 there were almost 4 *billion* text messages  
sent in Denmark (pop. less than New York City). Totally different phone  
cultures.
