The $30 all phone charge is irrelevant to me since nobody except my daughter is interested in texting. This must be an incredible cash cow for the phone companies. They are selling a service for a huge amount of money that costs them essentially nothing extra. Since the iPhone is capable of accessing the web and chat, there doesn't seem to me to be any reason for anyone to use this ridiculous service other than old habits. Years ago, SMS maybe made some sense. Today it doesn't.
