They text on occasion, but they might still receive lots of texts from friends. Something they can't control. Also, if they implement this like it is in the US, then when you receive an SMS, it takes away from your monthly allotment of SMSs. So people who previously got by with those 250 SMS per month will find themselves cut short.

People with plans have the luxury of getting a texting package or add-on. Rogers is an okay carrier but still sooooo expensive, I can't wait to see what the top iPhone bill is in the first month, being that the ceiling on their so-called "unlimited" plans are unscrupulously low.
