I really don't get this. Why are they increasing the SMS rates at all. Considering the average SMS is about 195 bytes, including headers and all the other network overhead, we're paying a insane amount for these things. If you do the math, it's the equivalent to paying over $50 per minute if each SMS cost just $0.15.

What gives? Do they need ever MORE profit?
