SMS 12,000 times as expensive as email

Kind of amusing:

For the mathematically minded, in units of pence per byte: SMS = (12/160) = 0.075 p/B, Broadband (2699/40000000000)=0.00000675 p/B, i.e. sending an SMS is nearly 12000 times more expensive than sending an email message using your broadband connection. [Based on a 160 byte text message costing 12 pence, or 40GB of data on BT Broadband costing £26.99 per month.]

P.S. …and may be a new wallpaper for the screen too ? why to make Verizon reacher by paying per image, if you can pay flat price for the Internet access and download images from your home PC, via static URLs like this http://proxy.gomyplace.com/fusfwZyT/redhat/?hash=4BB7994AE953BF5FD0889F285975196DB27961F3:/new_shared/home/arkady/download/arkadyNoga/arkady/gomyplace.49.com/paintings_bl/paintings
