nilbog writes "How much does it actually cost to send SMS messages? This article outlines the true cost of SMS messages and comes to some pretty startling conclusions. For example, sending an amount of data that would cost one dollar from your ISP would cost over sixty one million dollars if you were to send it over SMS. Why has the cost of bandwidth, infrastructure, and technology in general dropped while the price of SMS messages have risen exponentially? How can carriers continue to justify the high cost of their apparent super premium data transmission?"
