Adults Catching Up On Mobile Data Usage

It’s not just teenagers texting their friends anymore. MocoNews is reporting that “users aged 18 to 24 are driving most of the growth in SMS and MMS usage,” according to a recent survey of American cell phone usage.

In the same survey, which included 1,000 American users as part of a larger group of 8,500 users worldwide, they also found that “adults – like their youthful counterparts – are using their mobile phones to check sports scores, get weather forecasts or order movie tickets,” according to the report.
