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?
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.
