Text messaging a 60 million percent markup?

Posted 2008-01-29, 09:50 AM

The calculating is imperfect, but the general idea is the same. Text messaging is a huge ripoff. I personally choose to speak with my wallet and refuse to pay for texts.

According to http://gthing.net/the-true-cost-of-sms-messages/

Quote:

COSTS OF TRANSFERING 2,560 MP3s: (approx. 10 gigs)

via my ISP: $1
via SMS: $61,356,851.20
