Telstra is predicting that 76 million text messages will get sent on its networks on New Year’s Eve, and that’s before you add in Vodafone, Optus and 3.

On the other hand, texting isn’t the only high-tech option — if you’ve got a Net-enabled phone, Twitter and Facebook can also look appealing. How do you plan to communicate tonight?
