Obviously you don't fit the example then, or the targeted customer demographic. This isn't an enticement or incentive program. It's a penalty program. The old motivational principle of "The Carrot or the Stick" applies here.... this clearly isn't the carrot--- it's the stick.

Re: New Slogan

I'm not sure why you aren't grasping this. There are no penalties. If you choose not to send/receive SMS, you pay nothing above your current cost of service. If you choose to send/receive SMS, you'll be charged a fee per SMS. If you don't like that fee, you can purchase a different level of service that includes SMS for a nominal charge. If a person wants to send/receive numerous SMS/mth, the incentive of paying a lower fee to purchase that additional SMS package vice paying $0.20/SMS seem real to me.
