The reason long distance charges used to be so high was because of the phone system monopoly, stifled competition, and unfettered profiteering. The reason they went down was the breaking up of the monopoly by the government.
The reason SMS charges are so high is monopoly and profiteering. If there was a way for a company to break in and compete then the costs would plummet.
Working for free has nothing to do with it bgnr. Nobody is working to earn these dollars.
