"SMS is the messaging medium that has transformed how we communicate, and with Infobip reaching more than 70% of the mobile phones across the globe, we felt uniquely qualified to help herald this milestone," said Donahue. "Businesses are increasingly using SMS to interact with customers to ask for feedback, send package delivery notifications, carry out security authorizations, confirm appointments and so much more. Infobip facilitates the vast majority of these exchanges along with other messaging services, such as WhatsApp and Telegram. In fact, we had more than 1.5 million business to consumer messages go out over our networks on Black Friday alone!"

Citing findings from Infobip's "30th Anniversary of the SMS" survey, Donahue shared surprising statistics on how, where and when Americans are communicating with each other. Some key takeaways from the survey of 1000 Americans include:
  • More than a third of the respondents (36.9%) confessed to texting during a work meeting, with millennials being the biggest offenders (47.3%).
  • Nearly half of millennials (45%) have texted while drunk and sent a message they regret.
  • A significant portion of millennials (36%) and Gen Zers (30.8%) have texted at a wedding.
  • A surprising number of millennials (26.8%) reported texting at a funeral.
  • Nearly half of Gen Zers (45%) have been dumped over text.
  • Over a quarter (26%) of millennials have received a marriage proposal via text.
