having flashbacks to a time telcoms charged $$ per text. what a desperate move to extract every bit of $$ from the literal sharing of information
Man that was so bullshit, text messages piggyback on the wireless handshake so they cost telecoms literally zero money.
Or when CallerID was an additional $8/month. It's fucking DNS for telephone numbers. Can you imagine if ISP's had charged extra for DNS and everyone decided to just memorize IP addresses instead?
