The volume of short message service (SMS) traffic in Brazil surged 20% to 8.4bn messages in 2006 compared to 7.0bn in 2005, newspaper Gazeta Mercantil reported, citing estimates from mobile messaging solution supplier Okto.

Around 90% of this volume is person-to-person, while the application-to-person market, which integrators such as Okto can bill for, accounts for the remainder, Okto CEO Ann Williams told BNamericas

Sounds like a healthy market…

    Hi,
    It’s a shame Brazil doesn’t get much publicity abroad. Our market is growing very fast, with just a tad over 100 million installed mobiles on the street.

    cheers,
