| Text messaging is a rip-off If text messages use so few resources, why do they want me to pay 20 cents per message? What a rip off.
And the networks are not up to the task, we had a much smaller "crisis" where I live last week, and the cell network fell flat on it's face with blocked calls. |

Milford, NH | "The biggest tip is to understand the importance of text messaging," Smith said. "Text messaging uses far fewer of our network resources."
Cell-phone networks are set up in such a way that text messages can piggyback on the streams of voice data traffic bouncing around the system. The digital messages, which amount to mere dozens or hundreds of bytes, can be slipped into the gaps in that stream" My thought exactly, why do they cost thouasands/MB |

its not a royalty thing its a profit thing, texting is still considered an addon thing.
