The last time I had a mobile, it cost 20p to send a txt message. That was almost a decade ago and since then a lot has changed. I went from a 56k modem to an 8MB broadband line. So now I can send and receive a smeg load of data. So does that mean SMS are free now or practically free? How much data does an SMS use, about 160 bytes perhaps? Certainly shouldnt cost the companies 12p to 20p anymore.

The reason I bring this up is because I just read an article about AT&T SMS prices. Apparently 1 Megabyte of SMS would cost $1,310.72 :S

I'm currently still old school with my mobile contract. I joined 02 when it was Genie back in the day. £15 a month I get 250 texts and 50 minutes to a landline after 7pm every day. Kinda crappy when it comes to phone calls, specially to mobiles, but for texts - which I do most, it's not bad.

I love the Meteor network here, free texts for life to anyone else on Meteor, which is just about everyone I know.
