I believe here in Finland, we have the cheapest mobile phone calls, and texts in the world. Or Europe at least.

relative to data, SMS is way more lucrative, thats why we should all just send emails, but right now most people can't recieve emails on their phones yet.

I pay $0.04 to send sms/mms and nothing to receive

20 cent to receive a sms? Ludicrous! Thats what I pay for 1 mb of data (if I didn't had unlimited data plan) It's been 5-6 years since the price was so high here and that was for sending.

Send a message via ICQ to dayene Send a message via AIM to dayene Send a message via MSN to dayene Send a message via Yahoo to dayene
if i use any messenger (IM+, agile messenger, etc.) sending and receiving counts as a sms so unlimited is the way to go.
