Eleven percent of cellphone owners have made a charitable contribution via text message, according to a new report.

Young cellphone owners were more likely to make text-message gifts than their older counterparts.

Among cellphone owners ages 18 to 29, 19 percent said that they had donated via text message, compared with 10 percent of people ages 30 to 49, 8 percent of people ages 50 to 64, and 4 percent of cellphone owners age 65 and older.

Nearly a quarter of Latino cellphone owners (23 percent) said that they had made a text-message contribution, compared with 16 percent of African-American and 7 percent of white cellphone owners.

The findings are part of a new study of Americans’ use of wireless Internet services.

Fifty-nine percent of survey participants said that they go online wirelessly from a laptop computer (47 percent) or cellphone (40 percent).

The telephone survey of 2,252 adults—1,917 of whom are cellphone owners—was conducted from April 29 to May 30. Commissioned by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, it was designed to produce a sample that mirrored the demographics of the American population.
