IN a recent New York Times article citing an Ipsos MediaCT survey on the use of SMS, 82% of American cell-phone users said they never used SMS. This isn't surprising considering how lame the iPhone's SMS features are! Mobile phone users, particularly in the Philippines, use more SMS than voice calling primarily because it is the cheapest form of communication available in the country.
Until SMS becomes cheaper in the US, I doubt if Americans will use it more. With unlimited data starting to be more affordable, VoIP will pick up and text messaging will left behind. I am sure that this will also happen if telcos in the other countries provide more affordable voice calling rates!
