| one sided arguement... Why doesn't this study take into account the fact that almost all people who use SMS on a regular basis pay for a text plan which is substantially cheaper:
AT&T prices-
200 text messages: $5.00 (10 cents/add'l msg)
1500 text messages: $15.00 (5 cents/add'l msg)
Unlimited: $20.00 |

Are ringtones a great bargain when they're "only" a $1 a piece?

Lake Zurich, IL | B, you forget that text messages work almost all the time, unlike our VOIP service.  |

Of course paying 30 cents per text is obsurd but like any business, they know if you want to text you will upgrade to a plan thus bringing in more revenue. |
