That's what a recent story in The Wall Street Journal suggests, with a relatively small increase of 8.7% over the last six months, the lowest gain since texting took off last decade. Traditional mobile texting could also face some steep competition over the next few months from upcoming messaging tools and apps from Apple and Google that bypass mobile carriers.
