My first thoughts as well. It's about time someone with actual clout gave the mobile phone cartel the shaft. Yes, it's a cartel, when you pay $.50 a text message off your plan with all carriers there's gotta be some price fixing behind the scenes.
- dfragnito 17y agoNot sure having one mobile provider will result in a reduction of price. It's free now but you will pay later.
- gaius 17y agoYes but who really does that? Except when roaming. Even a basic plan will have like a thousand texts a month.
- dpritchett 17y agoI pay for texts on a per-message basis. Single texts are a quarter or so and the smallest minimum text plan is about $5/mo. I don't send 20 texts in a month so I just forego the service altogether. I still send and receive the occasional text but I don't care enough to pay for the package. It helps that I have a 5GB smartphone data plan.
