Interactive services, huge “text to screen” services running on the many hundreds of TV stations on Sky Digital plus joke, sports results, news feeds and more are now creating massive phone bills for users. It is estimated that it costs networks’ around a penny to transmit each text message, yet charges for text messages are now around 10p each.
