She was very suprised that everyone used SMS down there. She said it was rather expensive to call someone on your cell and its $.25 to send someone an SMS.
it's absurdly popular here; it's fairly common to see people walking around and sending an sms at the same time. and sadly, it does cost 25c a pop, which makes me wonder just how much it really costs the providers to send a single sms; surely it almost amounts to nothing for 'em?
ditto for me here in sydney; nothing but 'spam' from my provider (either a warning to let me know i'll need to pay my bill soon, or an alert to say i should have paid my bill when it was due:p).

You are not allowed to call people, knock on their door, sending mail and sms, with the purpose of selling them something
out of curiosity, have you noticed a decrease in the amount of (email) spam you receive?
