Unfortuantely fo them the company that 'invented' SMS didn't patent it or they would be rather rich by now.

BTW its LogicaCMG :D

No real such thing as a free text, you pay for them as part of contract or a genie-esque top up on a PAYG. They will all have been paid for at some point

Re: text messages only OVER 1 billion sent a week!
 

Nope, I have about 50 O2 accounts on o2.co.uk get 10 free texts a month, and you only need to top up a tenner and you get about 500 free texts or something.

Re: text messages only OVER 1 billion sent a week!
 

Jae a tenner a month gets you three hundred texts but you are paying for them because you are spending at least that tenner to get your texts.

Don't tell me you change your sim card for ten free texts:eek:

Re: text messages only OVER 1 billion sent a week!
 

On o2.co.uk you get 10 free texts a month, I use my friends/family's phones to register, I must have atleast 25 accounts on there. I never run out of texts on it. :D

Who pays for them?

Re: text messages only OVER 1 billion sent a week!
 

I don't tend to use text messages, but when I do I use o2.

Who's paying for the o2 texts? We are. We're paying about £15 a month for the internet, so we're paying for them if you think about it. ;)

Re: text messages only OVER 1 billion sent a week!
 

£10 a month gets you 300 minutes and 300 texts if you are with Virgin Media.

Re: text messages only OVER 1 billion sent a week!
 

Nah, o2 is nothing to do with our internet providers..

Re: text messages only OVER 1 billion sent a week!
 

£10 a month gets you 300 free minutes and texts with o2, too.

Re: text messages only OVER 1 billion sent a week!
 

you did when you bought a O2 Sim/phone etc. Also you will se ads on teh webpage which is using your internet bandwidth. so whether direct or indirectly, you pay for them
