| Cell phone carriers reported sharp increases in the number of text messages sent over their networks during Christmas and New Year’s over last year, with Greeks sending an average 34 SMSs per person for a total of 415 million text messages–about 30 per cent more than last year. Cosmote said its subscribers sent 55 per cent more text messages between December 24 and January 1, while Vodafone and Wind Hellas reported 20 and 15 per cent increases, respectively, in SMS traffic during the holidays. According to Cosmote data published in the Greek media, its subscribers alone sent 26 million text messages on Christmas and roughly 37 million on New Year’s. The figures prompted a debate among sociologists about whether Greeks were becoming more social or less by sending less personal group text messages.
