Thats a damn pricy SMS, here we pay 22c + GST, so thats 24c in total. I'd be fuming too.

Yes a mobile is very useful, when used properly, only when its abused does it become another spanner in the works of society. For example, the other day my 10 year old daughter asked me to buy her a mobile phone, naturally I inquired as to why she would make such a request, and she replied "We Stephie's parents bought her one" (Stephie is one of my daughters friends BTW). I was shocked, I'm used to seeing students with mobile phones at the secondary colleges I work at, not that I agree with that, but to see them in a primary school is shocking. Anyway, thats my little rant for the day.
