Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive?
wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoPretty much, it was still expensive at though. I got my first cellphone in 1999 with Fido. Probably paid something like 50$ month and that came with like 100 texts messages.

My first non-prepaid plan must have been around 2006-2007, with a slide phone and the very minimum plan I could get which was, IIRC, 50 minutes, unlimited nights and weekends, and exactly zero text messages included, no caller ID nor voicemail 😂 First time I had a data plan was in late 2011, when I got my first smartphone (Galaxy SII), and that was definitely less than 1GB/month…

If you think you’re old, I start with a Nokia 5110…

Oh I don’t think I’m particularly old, statistically speaking I’ve got about the same amount or a bit more left to go… We just all have those moments that make you realize time flies, don’t we?
