I don't text that much, but holy mackerel! I don't come anywhere near 1,000, let alone three times that. You kids are amazing, or something.CNN ARTICLE
Here is an interesting financial tidbit on texting from CNNMoney about
America's Biggest Rip-offs.
*Text Messages -- 6,500% Markup*
Text messages are such a tiny piece of data that they cost carriers only
about one-third of a cent to deliver, according to computer scientist
Srinivasan Keshav, who testified before U.S. senators on the issue last
summer.
But on a pay-per-text plan, the 160-character messages typically cost 20
cents outgoing and 10 cents incoming. That's a markup of as much as
6,500%. OMG! =-O "It's pretty much pure profit," Keshav says.
