This statistic shows the frequency of sending or receiving text messages in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2019, by gender. Of the female respondents, 57 percent used their mobile phone to send or receive text several times a day. Text messaging and instant messaging is a way to communicate without actually speaking to another person. This makes communication more thought out and detailed than in a voice call.
