that's just for the message data. if you include the other data included (destination, sender, etc.) it would be less. -- nm - zork May 14, 08:58 2
- eh, not too much. message headers on sms are tiny -- nm - decline May 14, 08:59 1
  - still when you are basing on 160 bytes, even an extra 20 characters (10 digit phone for sender and receiver) changes the amount by 12.5% -- nm - zork May 14, 09:10
That's a 4 year old link. -- nm - TWuG May 14, 08:54 6
- Sorry. It was linked somewhere else, and found it interesting. *shrug* -- nm - Don Homer May 14, 09:00 1
  - It is interesting, but is it still relevant? Is AT&T still charging for texts like that? -- nm - TWuG May 14, 09:02
- but it's trending now -- nm - decline May 14, 08:55 3
  - but is it still breastfeeding? -- nm - zork May 14, 10:03
  - Because people are just catching up with 4 year old news? -- nm - TWuG May 14, 08:56 1
    - Damnit, Mop -- nm - oblique May 14, 08:57
Not bad for an out-of-band signal hack -- nm - Beryllium May 14, 08:53
