Study Finds 72 Percent of Adults Now Texting in U.S.

The number of texters have increased in America, and the latest study finds that 72 percent of adults in the U.S. are now texting. Some are citing the higher prices of a la carte pay as you go texting options and the lower prices of unlimited texting plans as reasons for the increase in the number of texting adults, but one thing’s for sure–the technology is catching on. According to the “Cell Phones and American Adults” study by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, the number of American adult texters have increased year over year. This year, we’re seeing 72% of adults texting, up from 65% last year and 58% in 2007. But adults aren’t the only ones texting. In fact, for every ten SMS messages that adults send or receive, teens are sending 50.
