Is the world saying c u l8er to texts?

According to the New York Times, the allure of the text message has started to ‘fade’. In some countries around the world, it says, the SMS has fallen victim to the many and varied alternative services that have been made accessible by smartphones.

It’s a startling prediction, especially when the meagre text has become so integral to the way that we use our mobiles, but I’m not sure it’s one that we’re ready to accept here at Three.


It’s that time of the year again. The who’s who of the tech world have packed up their gadgets and headed to Vegas for the world’s largest technology tradeshow, CES – otherwise known as the Consumer Electronics Show.

If you’re a technology news hound, sleep is sure to be off limits for the next four days.
