The study also shows that among young people, text messaging is pretty much universally adopted.
Here are the numbers:
| Age Group | Active SMS User % |
|---|---|
| 18-24 | 76% |
| 25-34 | 58% |
| 35-44 | 43% |
| 45-54 | 33% |
| 55-64 | 22% |
| 65 and over | 19% |
Note: Based on US Households that owned a mobile phone in December 2006

Hi,
Any specific numbers on 13 - 17 demographics on text messaging adoption?
Here's what I found -
According to US census 2005, nearly 8% of america is between 13 - 17 (=~ 20 million). Which means =~ 7 million of them are active text messagers (based on the fact that 56% teens between 13 -17 have cell phones and 35.9% of teens bought cell phones just for text messaging)
Thanks

Can you break down the number of texters per state? Penetration per state?
Can you provide a link to the Forrester article? Or at least the title and date? Thank you so much.
