Verizon Wireless charges $5 per month for 250 SMS or MMS messages, $10 for 500 messages, or $ messages. (From AT&T, bundles cost $10 per month for 1000 SMS or MMS messages, $20 for unlimited, or $30 for unlimited for the entire family. No, the people who cringe every time the iPhone buzzes with a new text message are those, like me, who use text messaging sufficiently infrequently that it doesn’t make financial sense to buy even the smallest bundle of text messages. Of course, if your thumbs have dents from hundreds of thousands of text messages, the cost is probably immaterial - you’re likely happy paying a fixed monthly fee for unlimited text messaging (and the cellular carriers are still making plenty of profit from you). These 160-character messages cost cellular carriers literally next to nothing, and yet they’re priced so usuriously that they give new meaning to being “nickeled and dimed.” One researcher even calculated that it’s significantly cheaper to communicate with the Hubble Space Telescope, and there’s a wonderful article that calculates that it would cost nearly $6000 I’m continually fascinated by how some people - myself included - fret over relatively small expenses because they seem out of proportion, and nothing winds me up like SMS text messages.
