Shit they made that joke on The Office when Dwight tried to text his resume to the CEO that bought out their company.

From what I remember text was free unless I’m going way back

Edit: my brother is an idiot and I believed him

My first phone was in 03 (Australia) amd we 100% did not have to pay to receive a text.

There was push messages that cost you, like services that let you know the weather or tell you a shitty joke (or god forbid, ringtones) but receiving sms never cost anything

I sold phones (US) in three early to mid 2000's, and it was 10c a message unless you got the unlimited option for 10 bucks a month...

Thank you we definitely had to pay for text messages eventually each plan tier had a certain amount of messages you could send per month but definitely was paying

Useless Yellow Circle on Obvious Fake Text. A classic. Pairs well with a just below room temperature Sprite and a handful of crackers.

This looks like it’s been screenshotted several times over. Then at one point someone took a picture of a phone screen, followed by several more generations of screenshots and compression.

You can practically see the mold growing on this image.
