phone SMS jargon perhaps?
One funny thing I have always noticed was that ppl in Europe, Russia and Japan seem to use phone text messages quite extensively, while in the US it never caught on. A couple years back such a message would cost like a dollar to send and another one to receive (unless both of you pay smth like $10 or 15 a month extra), and most phones would not support them anyway. Not sure about now.

Hm, price to send of Sms massages in Russia near 7 cents(accepter not pay). All modern mobile phones support this function. But i can't said it about MMS...

Мне трудно верить, что в США люди не используют текстовые сообщения.

В Новой Зеландии примерно один из каждых шести людей на автобусе, в центре занимается сочинением текстового сообщения.

The only messages I've ever received were notifications from the carrier when I was late paying my bill... and i've never heard of anyone ever using them... except once i sent one to a friend (since i got a promotional month of premium service, normally smth like $15, that included about 100 messages) and got an angry call from her a few minutes later asking wtf i am thinking wasting her money like that.... it would cost her a dollar or two (US).
would cost me that much too were i not on the promotion (for comparison -- normally I pay $35 for 650/6500 min., and that would jack it up to 50, I am way too greedy for that, especially when nobody else has it anyway -- naturally this differs carrier to carrier but it seems most of them are similar...)
Although, Blackberry is really popular -- perhaps many ppl who need it are just using that.
Maybe the American networks are older and they feel a need to discourage messaging with their pricing policies? I do not know, it definitely is (was?) a deliberate choice on the carrier side...

Americans don

И мы обычно говорим "смс" [эс-эм-эс]

My service has 10 cents per text message (although I have 15 free a month, which I never use)
