Yeah, it can take several messages to say what could've been spoken in
a few seconds. e.g.
1. U going 2nite?
2. Yep, U?
3. Sure, wot time?
4. 10, where shall we meet?
5. cnr of x & y
6. ok CU there
7. OK CU
And it's all done while they're both sitting a couple of metres away
from the home phones.
I was astounded at the numbers of SMSs sent from phones within
Australia at New Year. Millions (of dollars) within a couple of
minutes for the telcos.
