EU here, yes it costs nothing to receive, but it's still around 5 eurocents to send one. 5 cents for a couple of bytes is still a lot. As for MMS, let's not even go there, that is a true ripoff.
E-mail is not quite legacy. What would you suppose could replace it?
- robin_reala 16y agoI’ve just had a look around the providers in the UK - the most basic talk plans include at least 100 txts a month, but go one step up and you generally get unlimited. As for MMS, everyone I know just uploads photos to Facebook instead. Email just doesn’t fit a usecase for my friends for the most part (and I’m talking as a 30-something, not a teenager). For short messages there’s a txt, for short broadcast and medium messages there’s Facebook and for long messages generally you ring. There’s obviously still a use for email in the workplace, but it’s confined to there.
