    Then why when i make a phone call am i charged a 25 conection fee??

    After all, the conection takes the same effort,
    if not less then an SMS(ie if i try to phone someone and they have turned there phone off, the phone company dosent keep trying to send the phonecall when i hang up, where as with an SMS it will stay in the system)

    I can make a 10 minute phoncall after hours for
    the conection fee alone, whilst during the peek time, its the conection fee + 25 cents each 30 seconds..

    I make a 1 second phoncall and its 55 cents..

The tiny list includes beavers and a couple of other rodents, otters, bats, certain foxes, a few hoofed mammals, and some primates -- notably gibbons and the tamarins and marmosets of the tropical New World. By contrast, birds have long been the poster children of monogamous fidelity. A common figure, first reported by the great ornithologist David Lack in the 1960's, has been that 92 percent of the 9,700 bird species are monogamous."
