A typical budget plan offers perks in roughly these proportions (per month):
- 15 GB of mobile data
- 10 hours of calls
- 200 SMS
It may be 300, 500, but I’ve never seen more than 1000 SMS even on 100 GB plans.
An SMS is limited to 160 bytes. Hence one GB of network bandwidth is equivalent to 6250000 SMS. 500 SMS limit is not even a thousandth of a percent dent on the mobile data limit.
What comes to phone calls, a single SMS could fit in half a second of audio dial-up way.
Why not increase the limit?
I’m not in the US either…
“US defaultism refers to the tendency for people, particularly those in the United States, to assume that the US is the default or only relevant context when discussing various topics.”
Funnily enough @[email protected] suspected you of having been displaying US defaultism ;-)
Your sentence makes no sense, are you speaking on someone else’s behalf voicing an imagined opinion you think they have?
@[email protected] pointed out to you that OP might not be an US citizen, so suspected you to be one, ignorant of the fact that other people outside the US exist.
And you then replying to that with the US defaultism quote is funny.
I made zero assumption about whether op was in the US or not. I simply responded to @[email protected] US defaultism.
You ironically just provided another example of US defaultism 🤣
Interesting. What country are you in? Whenever SMS comes up on the Internet usual people mention it being a US thing almost exclusively.
It’s usually in the context of there not being a single app alternative (like WhatsApp or that one China uses) which took off before SMS became unlimited here, so SMS is the default if you want to exchange text messages with someone or if a company does.
Please tell me you’re joking…
Well, I suppose I could actually pay attention to your username.
Yep Northern Ireland is not a US state thankfully 🤪
