****"I have to say, YOU are wrong and your arguments make no sense. Just because you would rather have an iChat/AIM client doesn't mean everyone else does. I personally would rather use SMS.
NONE!!! of my family, friends, or co-workers use chat programs. However, they all have cellphones which are capable of SMS (BTW, you aren't required to have an SMS plan to SMS, just an SMS capable phone).
Don't buy it. But wasting your time complaining about it is not going to change anything."****
None of your family, friends, or coworkers use chat programs? Wow.. You must suck at the internet.
"****Or you could not be an idiot and make such grand generalizations. My incoming texts are free. I don't pay a dime for a text message received from another phone, regardless of the carrier.
Your whole post is pretty much nonsense. Not everyone uses AIM but, like someone above me said, almost everyone has a cell phone. I talk to more of my friends on SMS than on IM any day. I guess it's a shame that all of your friends exist only online, but for real-world use, SMS is going to work great for a huge majority of people.****"
Are you like 12 years old? Mommy pays your cell bill, so you dont see what you get charged. They charge you for BOTH incoming AND outgoing text messages. Just because you cant read your own bill, doesnt mean they dont charge you.
