Virtually nothing?

Um yeah..

I guess the tower leases are free,
the spectrum is free,
handset subsidies are free,
antennas are free,
cables running down the tower are free,
equipment at the base of the tower is free,
the T1s servicing the sites are free,
fuel for the backup generator is free,
electricity is free,
the cable to get your call back to the office is free,
the computers in the office to route your call are free,
the T1's to route your call back out are free,
all of the same equipment at the other site is free,
cell site techs work for free,
digital techs (works on the T1s) work for free,
office techs work for free,
vehicles for the field techs are free,
fuel for those vehicles is free,
tools are free,
training for the techs is free,
customer service reps work for free,
your bills are free to print,
postage for your bills is free,
payment processing centers are free.

There is a cost to build and operate this network and it is supported by charging for text messages.
