Yeah, and they're charging up to .30 per message. You want to claim that SMS isn't high margin?
Yes, it is high. Don't like the price, then don't use it. I have SMS blocked on my cellphone inbound and outbound.

 Don't like it/don't use it is a different issue from whether or not it's a cash cow. I use SMS all the time for per personal and business so I use a prepaid option but it doesn't change the fact that AT&T is making a mint on it.
