Would you believed that the Philippines is the text capital of the world?
That's according to huge data and result gathered from telecommunication companies, actually there's more than ten telecom companies that are serve for the Filipino people and almost all the brands of cellular phone you wanted to buy are available at cheapest price and the result of that is even the ordinary people can afford to have celphone, most of it is the cheap amount of load that's why text messaging become easy to provide.

ten telecom companies...
I think u are kidding, with 10+ telecom companies u are telling that philipines is the world leader in text messages..
u know what, my country has more than 30 telecom companies offering around the world the best communication service.
I'm proud to be an Electronics and communication Engineering student to tell this..
Check out in internet that India is the world leader in selling mobile phones, we have 110 crore population and just look out if we have a mobile 1 out of 2 persons in our population..
Some of the Network providers in our country are- Reliance, Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Tata indicom, Tata Docomo, BSNL, Aircel, Spice, Fly, Virgin and many more..
These are the top companies offering best service and network throughout country, there are many local companies offering network through out different states..
In my case, i use airtel, and for a month with a recharge of RS.60 , they would produce me 22,000 free sms per month and i use around 15,000 - 17,000 sms per month..
We are the best text communicating people, especially with the college students..
Regarding mobiles, we do have cheap mobiles and branded mobiles
Reliance, Tata indicom and Tata services offering CDMA(code divison multiple access) services..
Nokia, Motorola Sony, LG, Samsung these are the leading mobile vendors...

i never said like that, only by text messages...
We have a very strong communication 2G, 3G and infact 4G is about to evolve first in
Asia Pacific countries like china, india and japan...
Japanese and chinese are the world leaders in Electronics and telecommunication products and we indians are following them .

I've always wondered why people want all that when their neighbors are financially barely capable of buying food for themselves. Wouldn't it be a better idea to invest in a better general financial situation than to enable texting? I wouldn't know what texting has to do with fast mobile internet connection but okay...

Hello my friend shellback Ji,
I do not consider cell-phones as to promote world's Capitol city. In fact, cell phones are prone to many diseases, it'suse should be limited to emergencies only. The amount required to treat diseases will be much higher. Just think it over. Cell phones are only best during emergencies and never otherwise.
May God bless You and have a great time.

Yeah you're absolutely right, celphone is for call and text use only but the makers or the companies who made a phone would put some extra sense, like games, camera, video and a lot more, some celphone turns to be a small computer,the easy term for it is like a supermart that you can do it on one stop shop, the problem is, celphone promotes illness that cant be easily detected, lets go back to the topic, Philippines became text capital of the world that's because of producing large volume of exchange message per hour. Thanks for your comments.
