Text should it be free or not there is a debate on that issue right now. People want the text service to be free but carriers are making huge amounts of money making it pay to text service. We all know life now are hard and the simple joy of texting friends is one of the prime hobbies of Filipinos. We love to text and as such we spend money on it be it daily, weekly, or monthly. Here comes a debate that text services should be offered free since it is a service that should be given by the carriers.
With that comes the dilemma carriers are running a business if text services are offered free then their stocks will fall and investors will pull out in turn causing it to shut down. I think free text is good but should be moderated carriers must come up with a system which is fair to us consumers and is not hurting their business.
Law makers should look at the bigger picture ad not think of their wallets since the only way to delagate this issues is with the help of the government. Although carriers in the Philippines are offering a wide array of promos with text such as unli-text there is still a need to regulate it as not to be abused by consumers and the carriers alike.
