receive text messages (98%). And more than six <strong>in</strong> 10 use their phones to access the <strong>in</strong>ternet, send <strong>and</strong><br />

receive email, <strong>and</strong> download apps. These percentages are all higher than those for adult cell phone<br />

users as a whole.<br />
