you do it 4 free?
is it one of them annoying ones that leave an advert at the end of the ttxt?
and on the subject of it all.. im 21 so well into the txt culture age group..
and i only shorten if im only a few characters over the 160 limit.. and even then its only mild trmming.. txt instaed of text, 4 (instaed of for) 2 for too etc..0 -
To be honest as I've got the equivilant of £90 credit per month on my Flext contract I've never really had to worry about my SMS length! My phone actually only tells me how many characters are left before a multi-message SMS is full! But I mostly call these days... More personal and cheaper! And if not calling I'd probably email or IM which I can do through my phone as part of my package!
The price of SMS is just extortionate, all it is is a 160 byte data transfer! And they charge anything up to 12p for it! The most expensive transfer rates I've heard of on phones was 0.73p per kb, or £7.30 per MB, which is just rediculous, but it's still a heck of a lot cheaper than SMS!
Sorry I've gone on a bit...
