What's funny is that we all still send them..
On my package in Thailand I can talk to someone for 5 minutes for 1 Baht. It costs me 3 - 5 Baht to send a text message, and yet I still prefer to send a text message!
The phone companies know that we like this form of disconnected communication I guess, and as such keep billing us for it. In the UK text message usage by kids means that often their Pay-as-you-Go bills are higher than a lot of business packages once they add up all their receipts!
Virtually everyone I know is on skype these days, which is why I am praying and hoping for a native skype chat client on the iPhone as soon as possible.
