I always wondered how people managed to send, on average, 1 SMS every 4 minutes, for 12 hours a day, every day. I'm not sure I could do that even if someone paid me to.
The surprise $300 bills you are talking about, they're teenagers right?
- w1ntermute 14y agoBecause a lot of these texts are "yes", "no", "lol", "hi", etc. They might send 10 such texts in a 30 second period.
- xyzzy123 14y agoYeah I see what you and mattmaroon mean. Thanks. I used SMS a fair bit when it was 20c/NZ a message - but that never seemed to be a big deal for anyone. Interestingly, although running out of prepaid credit was highly inconvenient, it never really lead to people trying to conserve TXTs. As of today I am slightly ashamed to admit that I actually have no idea what an SMS costs me...
