Verizon Wireless Expects More than 300 Million Messages this New Year’s Eve

As we enter another challenging yet very exciting year that is 2008 we cannot help but be thankful for those people who made our lives more beautiful with their presence and support. One of the best ways to tell those persons that we care and remember them is through SMS or MMS.

That’s why Verizon Wireless is expecting its customers will send more than 300 million messages from 12 p.m. today until 4 a.m. tomorrow, New Year’s Day.

"During holidays such as New Year's Eve, text, picture and video messages allow our customers to personalize their communications with friends and family. Last New Year's Eve, our customers sent and received more than 284 million text messages and nearly 4.75 million multimedia messages, so we fully expect to surpass the 300 million mark tonight," said Verizon Wireless VP and chief marketing officer Mike Lanman, in a press release.

Sure, this might not mean much for many people because we’re used to send the same message to all our contacts. Take time to personalize your messages and make it heartfelt as possible.

Oh, by the way, I wish all readers of MobileWhack a very happy and prosperous 2008!
