@blaine yeah, back in the time it cost zero to send/receive as it was almost out of band and reused the signaling infra. at some point, that became obsolete and now SMS is being delivered over IP - as everything else, to be honest . And telco HW companies keep milking the cow selling and licensing SMS<>IP gateways to maintain legacy.
