For that reason, most people haven't started using it until recently. Plus the cell phone carriers started offering text messaging plans that lower the costs per text message. For example, instead of paying $0.15 I am basically paying $0.02 now ($5 for 250 messages). You can upgrade from there. I think $20 essentially buys you unlimited messages.

But then there are 60 million phones in this country (one for every man, woman, child and baby), so it's very pervasive; moreso than email.
