Now Now. I invest in company like Verizon and back when it was $7.00 share and is now $53 share and that is helped by those who text.

@previous (C)
you of all people would be aware that the technology used for texting costs the Telecoms nothing, nada, zilch!
it uses the same signal that is being used anyway to update your phone's clock with the current time, so why should anyone have to pay for that?

Albeit that is not exactly accurate - It is accurate to say that texting > texting costs the Telecoms nothing, nada, zilch!
Totally TRUE
HowSomEver - The infrastructure to provide that to you costs Mega Billions of bucks - Just consider the full roll out of 5G - Texting will cost even a fraction less YET to get that service is Super Super costly new infrastructure wise. So much so that it's driving companies crazy trying to figure out what it's going to cost and how to pay for it - Except of course You will be fully charged for it.
