Verizon Wireless' customers sent and received more than five billion TXT Messages in September 2006. This record - for both the company and the U.S. wireless industry - marks the most TXT Messages ever sent and received by Verizon Wireless customers in a single month.

The growth in TXT Messages reflects an increase of 150 percent - or an increase of three billion messages a month - for the same time period in 2005.

Also last month, Verizon Wireless customers shared more than 100 million PIX and FLIX multimedia messages. The trend with TXT Messages also holds true for Verizon Wireless’ PIX and FLIX Messages as the company also had an increase of more than 150 percent for multimedia messages for the month, compared to one year ago.
