Text messaging. The most expensive form of communication known to man.
Aside from, perhaps, sending your inane messages by courier.http://pandemos.net

I can just imagine these school kids sending their messages to all of their friends just because they can..
a: "Sup?"
b: "nm"
a: "cool"
b: "yeh"
a: "eating lunch today?"
b: "yeh"
a: "cool - me too"
b: "k"
a: "gtg"
b: "k"
That drivel racks up the bucks quick..Comment

That text messaging is a scam, it uses 10000 times less bw/capacity than normal voice conversation, yet it costs 5-10 cents each... It's not much, but you can quickly rack up, $10-$20 in charges...Custom Software Development, email: woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details or skype: wojl2000 or gchat: wojfun or telegram: wojl2000

Even more of a scam in Australia, typical rate for an SMS is 20-25c (Australian) which is about 14-18c in USD. There are specials with lower rates between cells on the same carrier, or free during specific periods etc, but that's the general charge.Originally posted by wojThat text messaging is a scam, it uses 10000 times less bw/capacity than normal voice conversation, yet it costs 5-10 cents each...

Setting up a GSM voice call probably generates more bandwidth and phone/base station chatter than an SMS. What a rip.Comment

Cause it's not as cool...Originally posted by tony404if your on a phone already why not just call them ?
It's like it was back with the cb radio craze in the 70's..
More fun to get on the cb and say, "What's your 10-20?" "That's a big 10-4" ..
And like the internet newbies that discover the online cards they can email
to their friends.. They drive their friends crazy cause they thinks it's cool.. Like they're the first to discover them...Comment
