“
Of all Americans with mobile phones, 62% say they use text messaging, mostly because it’s a convenient and quick way to communicate.
More than one-third (37%) say they use texting to avoid long or tough conversations, and over one-quarter (27%) say they use it because they dislike talking on the phone.
One-quarter feel it’s a great way to flirt, particularly among the 18-24-year-old set (39%). One in four of American mobile phone users surveyed admitted they have spied and read someone else’s text messages without permission.
This includes looking at the messages of spouses, partners, friends or even their own kids.
