    Funny how the EU just recently found them to NOT be gate keepers.

      Text messaging market in EU is totally different from in the United States. This is because US texting was cheap always— not so with the EU.

        TBF Europeans just went wild with SMS. Omg. Nowadays it’s all WhatsApp, which I am not happy with.
