Blah to Text Messages
December 29th, 2008
I saw this headline on Ars Technica, and I just had to post about it and agree: Text messaging: Annoyingly expensive and insanely popular
I’d probably change the sub-title to: Insanley expensive and annoyingly popular, but the title in its original form was fairly accurate.
It does seem ridiculous to me that a message only 160 bytes costs $0.20 to send or receive when one does not have a TXT plan. In fact, Crunch Gear did the math and determined that sending 1MB of data via text message would cost over $1300! Now that’s insanely expensive.
I rest my case.
