SMS capital of the world

The Philippines is sometimes referred to as the SMS capital of the world. This is because ever since the advent of SMS, it has been a vital part of the Filipino lifestyle. SMS services are very common in the Philippines, from news briefs to multimedia services. Communication through SMS, also known as text messaging, was an important part of the 2001 overthrow of the Estrada government. Major telecommunications service providers expect that the number of mobile phones/subscribers will rise to 49 million, almost 60% of the population by 2005.
