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?
That’s hilarious. I currently live where I can see like 3 of my neighbors.
And? I can see several neighbors’ residences. We barely get cell signal half the time, and the only Internet currently is dodgy WiFi, which also regularly goes wonky. A lot of times we can walk into nearby establishments and leave empty -handed, because Internet is down and we don’t have cash enough in have to make our purchases.
Sounds like you need to move away from the actual sticks.
I call where I am country’ish because while I have only a handful of neighbors, we have gigabit down from spectrum, damn near gig over 5g, etc.
