I heard that VZW customers did a whopping billion messages a day in November, totaling 30 billion txt msgs for the month.

I'm a VZW Customer, and once it hit 12:00AM, the VZW Texting Servers were down. Whether they crashed or not, I couldnt text until afternoon the next day.

I think it depends on how many customers O2 has , it doesn't say. O2 probably doesn't have the customers that ATT or VZ has.

They are not even close to the customers T-Mo has...I had to Google it to see and this site says they have 17.8 million. So a little over 9 text per customer in a 24 hour period is nothing crazy. This has to be a Euro record becasue VZW could break this with every customer sending 3 text in a 24 hour period. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/07/31/o2_results/
