You pay a ridiculous amount when you send them (like 30 times the cost of their rip off pay per use data rate), your most likely going to reply to a text you get...
Regardless, one more reason not to give business to Bell...

Guys, i have the Telus Motorola Mike I885 and for the past few years i am paying 10 dollars for unlimited text messages incoming and outgoing. Its funny because yesterday they called for to change my cell plan.. I said nope.. If i hear that my plan is changed or my options have been removed or changed i will sue you people... Telus, Rogers ****ing rediculous now. Virgin Mobile offers some real good cell plans... Too bad we cant get like cingular or tmobile and what not down here to compete against these ****ers so we can get cheaper cell rates.. .

Ya, rates are high...but these are all public traded companies...if you think they are robbing the public, WHY DON'T YOU BUY THEM...
