quote: When you send a text message to another network other than your own, the recipient network takes 3p as an interconnect charge. The actual cost of transmitting the message (and same network text messaging) is less than 0.1p. So at 10p or 12p per text message, the networks are making piles of cash. | |

I bet these companies are laughing all the way to the bank. Text message probably costs one hundredth of the price of a voice call but the charge to the user is far higher, plus you get to make a phone call to listen to it, plus you can buy hardware to do it more often. Sheesh. | |

BT has launched a range of phones that will allow people to send a receive text messages on their fixed telephone lines. The service will send texts to and from mobile phones and between fixed line phones. For those without SMS enabled handsets, BT will convert the text to speech. | |
