| A non-issue Text messaging is, well, text messaging.
If you raise a generation of text messaging addicts, and their parents are gullible enough to subscribe them (after they can longer keep their precious kids on a leash, they're easily convinced that somehow a cell phone will protect them from the boogeyman, and they'll "always know where they are"), then it is only a matter of time before the extortion will begin.
The solution?
No text messaging.
Telco will always play the same game. Threaten to charge by the unit, so as to convince to buy a higher service level package. Consumers are typically too gluttonous and too proud to meter their use, so they pay. |

1 edit | I save a bundle by using pre-paid. My monthly is cost averages about $6/mo. The phone is used for potential emergencies (car crash) or a quick call to my wife or a call from a client. Why pay $40/mo if you occasionally use the phone. The telcos treat prepaid as the red-headed stepchild for that very reason. |
