At least where Monopolies or Oligopolies operate.

Come to India.  It's mobile user wet dream.  We are largely GSM.

Voice calls - 1 paisa for 2 seconds.  There are 100 paisas in 1 rupee.  50 Rupees = 1 USD.

SMS:  We basically don't care how much it costs.  I think it's nearly free.  Some 500 SMS free per month and then what? 20 paisa per SMS?

In India, receiving party NEVER pays for SMS.

International SMS (all over the world) costs like Rs 5 per SMS message.

For comparative analogy, one USD will get you 10 cups of good tea (1 billion times better than a 5 Star hotel) on a roadside tea cart, and 1.5 USD will get you one litre (1000ml) of petrol.
