I don’t want to undermine the lengthy and informed reply to this, but didn’t cellular network providers in the US charge for both sending and receiving SMS messages, solicited or otherwise?
That was a little different. You weren’t paying a flat fee for “unlimited sms” at that time, you were paying a “per transaction” fee, where transaction could mean incoming or outgoing data.
Still a load of bullshit though. SMS was always cheaper to send than even a minute of voice data. Text will always be smaller than audio.
