Chug chug chug

I don't suppose it helps that SMS is a technology that is what, 15 years old? I don't imagine there's been much development in better SMS handling systems.

SMS should be replaced with IP-based services anyway. It's dumb to have multiple data realms. About as dumb as sending a floppy disk in the mail would be today. GSM providers eventually realized it would be cheaper/easier to just give legacy CSD users new phones and support than to keep its CSD gateways plugged in and chugging.

SMS piggybacks on existing communications phones have to do anyway- it's probably less expensive for a carrier to do a transmission via SMS than via say, an AIM program on the data network.
