MANILA (Reuters) - Filipinos doubled the number of text messages they sent last year to an average of 1 billion daily, industry data showed on Tuesday.

The Philippines is one of the prolific text messaging centers of the world with even the central bank governor sending monetary policy statements via mobile phone and an increasing number of consumers using their handsets for banking and bill payments.

I believe it went lower this year. Even me, I seldom use my cellphone for texting. I always use my phone for Internet.
