CTIA 2005 -- Digit Wireless, makers of Fastap (for background info read our previous report here), today released data from a study conducted by Canadian Wireless Carrier TELUS. TELUS launched the Fastap LG 6190 phone in November 2004 and since that time:

• New clients who purchased the phone sent almost 120% more text messages than those with other phones
• Existing TELUS Mobility clients who upgraded to the Fastap LG 6190 from other phones increased their already-high texting volumes by almost 60%

Digit Wireless told MobileTracker Monday that sales of the LG 6190 have been brisk. The LG 6190 on TELUS remains the only Fastap phone at this time.
