It Costs $35 Million to Send an HD Video Over SMS While Roaming
on AT&amp;TS  AT&T has the following chart on their webpage
which outlines roaming rates while outside the U.S. We're going
to concentrate on the text messages row, also known as SMS
messages.  SMS charges are absurd. They have been for a long
time. Ryan Kearney did a little math to show you just how absurd
they are, by comparing the data in the messages to a standard HD
video.   I did the math and tweeted my findings.  A few hours
later, an AT&T employee tweets back (at least according to their
Twitter bio they appear to be), but then almost immediately
deletes their tweet. No matter, their reply was already sent via
text message, email, and cached on my desktop Twitter client
tweetbot. Below is a screenshot.   Someone I only assume to be
affiliated with AT&T replies back, only to quickly delete their
post.  @RyanAKearney actually 1 character in a msg equals abt 1
kb.1024KB=1MB..same conversion to GB-AT&T charges 19.97/mb or
120mb for $30 #fact
