Swiss send ludicrous number of texts on Christmas, Christmas Eve {Engadget Mobile}

Dec 27th 2007 5:23AM Costa Ricans are not behind, believe it or not. According to Grupo ICE (the sole provider of cellular service in Costa Rica), a total of 87 million SMS messages were sent between the 24th and the 25th.

Here's the link: http://www.teletica.com/archivo/tn7/nac/2007/12/26/27725.htm (in Spanish though)

Considering Costa Rica has just over 4 million people, that would be an average of over 20 messages per person. And if you just take into account subscribers, that's a whopping 50+ messages per subscriber.

Of course, each message costs only $0.003, so even if you send 150 messages you wouldn't even spend 50 cents.
