Texting becomes more popular than talking in Britain, average Briton sends 50 texts a month
Share:
The youngest crowd including people from 16 to 24 leads the way and is the first switching to more text and social networking interaction. What’s really interesting though is that the average Briton sends 50 texts each week, or more than 7 text messages per day.
Also, tablet adoption has really picked up recently and from 2% last year, now 11% to 12% of people in the UK own a tablet. That’s probably even faster than the smartphone adoption. In the UK, two out of five adults own a smartphones and a record 49% of people are now on contracts. For the first time, more than a half of all phone calls were made on a mobile phone as opposed to a stationary one.
Britons spends an average hour and a half in social networks each week, The whole Ofcom report is full of interesting facts, so you can check it all out at the source below.

This is so true. More so amongst younger people. The only time i call people on my phone is when i need contact somebody who cant recieve texts (landline numbers) or trying to contact people who simply dont know how to text. (Like my parents)
