Mobile Industry Review: Philippines Government to operators: Make texting free
-
Mr. Yos Mann · 1 year agoCharging for text messages was really set up as a control device or limiter for people. When text was free waaaay back when, late 90's I guess, the networked was swamped with text messages. One message took almost a whole day to be sent and I vaguely remember they were having difficulties with calls because of it also. So making it free would be a really really bad idea for a country where virtually everyone has a cellphone. Besides unlimited texts just makes people spend their day on the damn things.
