Samsung recently conducted a survey in eight cities across the U.S. that showed that not only do a majority of cell phone users text message, but that they're doing it everywhere. According to CTIA, 4.1 billion text messages are sent everyday and many users admit that have even texted in places some would consider to be taboo, such as at the dinner table, on dates and in a house of worship.

Below is a breakdown on how the cities ranked against each other and their texting habits:

According to a national survey by Samsung Mobile, a majority of Americans (73%) are using mobile phones to stay connected via text, e-mail or to update their social networking sites, and 64 percent of them appreciate that they can get in touch with their friends without having to actually talk to them on the phone. Perhaps this is why those who actually use their phones to do this say they can reach their contacts more quickly (61%) and stay in touch on a more regular basis (60%).

Nearly half of people surveyed in the eight cities agree that text messaging has made their daily lives less complex.
