It's counted as one message each for the sender and receiver in the US. We are then billed simply by that number.

- stcredzero 14y agoConspiracy theories are bunk. That fact that US citizens stand for SMS double billing is the best proof that we're sheeple.

- freehunter 14y ago>the best proof that we're powerless. More accurate. People need to communicate, and SMS is a good way to do that. Would we like it to be cheaper? Of course. There have been numerous lawsuit attempts, petitions, and boycotts. Doesn't matter. There's nothing we can do to change it. If everyone just stopped using it, they'd bundle it in with a package you had no choice but to buy. If you just abstained from a cell phone, you'd be in more trouble than you'd have been 20 years ago since payphones and emergency phones no longer exist. It's not that people pay it and shut up about it, it's that people pay it because there's no other real option.
