As someone was kind enough to point out by PM, I made a careless error in this post: <<160 characters is 1280 bits, correct? At G* 9.6K data rate, it would be transmitted in eight seconds, and, at 1.5USD/minute, that would cost 0.20, or near the high end of your range. >> Eight seconds is .13 minutes, but the time required is 0.13 seconds so G* retailers could bill SMS for as little as 1/3 of a cent to send such a message and still get their blessed 1.50$/minute.
