These rants against text message pricing pop up from time to time and always neglect one fact: by volume, almost nobody pays 5 cents a text. Most text messages are sent by someone who just pays $10 per month or something like that for unlimited texts, then sends thousands of them.

- mattmaroon 14y agoThe average teenager alone sends over 3000 texts per month. At 5 cents per, that's $150 for SMS alone. Think the average teenager spends $150/mo on SMS? Or pays the $10 fee for unlimited?
