11 million fricking text messages were sent in Jordan on the eve of Eid.
My God. 11 million? That’s sort of crazy, especially as the whole whopping population of Jordan is like half that number; and I didn’t send any messages so you can count one person out.

The Al-Ghad article reads, “Text messaging service (messejat) reduced the social burden on Jordanians.”

    I sent out about 50, so I can understand the number. I guess I was too lazy to call all these people, and it was more convenient to go through my phone book and send everybody a message. About 20 people felt compelled to reply.
