Text messaging. The most expensive form of communication known to man.

Aside from, perhaps, sending your inane messages by courier.

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..

bjjb · 04-02-2006, 08:29 AM

I use txt msging more than actually using my cell. I find it cheaper and quicker, even more so that email sometimes. I love that shit.

Texting lingo gives me a fucking headache sometimes.

the "k" reply is just something I can't conceive. is this the txt version of "copy"

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...

rigrunner · 04-03-2006, 03:14 AM

it was costing me shedloads.. until i blagged my way to an uber cheap contract on 02 UK :D

XX_RydeR · 04-03-2006, 04:08 AM

yeah, it's usually cheaper to actually make a 30 second call, considering you will send more than 3 sms's per convo.

Rydz.

bjjb · 04-03-2006, 06:01 AM

80% of my text msgs go to Europe so its much cheaper than calling loll

Calvinguy · 04-03-2006, 06:07 AM

don't most operators offer a flat fee for unlimited text massaging?

VicD · 04-03-2006, 06:24 AM

no, not at all

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.

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

I send messages with pigeons.

Cause it's not as cool...

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...
