Many Chinese people use their cellphones to send New Year's Greetings to their parents, friends, colleagues etc. I am one of them. On New Year's Eve, I sent many text messages to my friends and colleagues, wishing them "Happy New Year". Of course, I received many text messages from them. According to three major Chinese mobile telecom providers, about 18 billion text messages had been sent during the Spring Festival. A text message costs 0.1 RMB. 18 billion text messages are worth 1800 million RMB. Those three telecom providers have made a good fortune. Do you use cellphone to make New Year's Greetings?

I belong to the "thumb tribe" and I am a fan of thumb culture. I usually send text/multimedia messages to my friends. On New Year's Eve, I also send my "greeings" to them. Unfortunately, many people just forward the same "greeting" to their friends, colleagues and even their bosses. I don't like this. I just send "Xin Nian Kuai Le (Happy New Year)" to my friends and colleagues with my name in the last line.

GUESTZINYMEGAN	Hey Guys, I am a student (limited budget) and have seen a few offers for free ipods and iphones. Does anyone Know if any if the free IPhone or Ipod offers are actually legit? I don't want to waste my time filling out a hundred surveys and was hoping to hear from someone who may have had some success with this. Thanks

Also, you can make up some text messages differently and then send them to your friends. I am sure that your friends will feel very happy. Sometimes, simple words can express exactly what you are trying to say.

Well, he is too busy with making money and has no time to see me. I strongly advise that China Mobile should cancel the roaming fee. China Telecommunications has cancelled the roaming fee.
