Over the years the cost of wireless service has declined, from around $1 per minute to a nickel or less. Years ago the cost of text was a dime to send and free to receive. Now most carriers have added an evil charge to receive, and hiked the price to 20 or 25 cents. The whole purpose of that pricing is to con you into believing what a deal the "unlimited" option is and thus spend more each month.<br> <br> We need that bill of rights because the carriers are ripping us. If you consider how many "text" will fit in the bandwidth needed for a minute of voice, you come to the inescapable conclusion that this is highway robbery of galactic proportions. And that is without any "premium" charges which are even more outrageous. They could make excellent profit at a penny to send and free to receive, so why must we be robbed? All other high-markup (2x, 3x, 4x, etc.) products pale in comparison to text!
