The cost of UK mobile to mobile phone calls (especially cross network) is exorbitant so many use sms instead based on cost this may have something to do with its popularity.
Yes David you're right there... and something unbelievable as well... here is Canada, I believe in USA is the same situation, they have to pay for sending SMS as well as for receiving
How stupid is that ? Someone sends you SMS (txt mesasge) and then they charge a sender as well as you
I remember I never ever had to pay when I receive a message from someone (back in Croatia), just when I call someone or send a txt message. And not just with my cell phone service provider which was CRONET and later I switched to VIPme... they all had exactly the same policy about that. Also, when someone calls you here, you also have to pay as well as other part who placed that call.
