Is there any reason, beyond corporate greed, for SMS messages to cost so much?
If I get it right, an SMS message is just a short string of data, no different from a message we send in a messenger. If so, then what makes them so expensive? If we’d take Internet plans and consider how much data an SMS takes, we should pay tiny fraction of a cent for each message; why doesn’t that happen?
They fucked themselves. It became more worthwhile to just use data.
And who provides the data?
WiFi?
I’m not sure who in this chain is joking, lol
WiFi isn’t free. And Idk about you, but where I live the internet service providers are the same as cell providers. I have AT&T for internet, for example. So they still get the money.
But with WiFi, you don’t have to pay extra for more data usage.
That depends. Where I used to live, Comcast had a monopoly and a data cap.
