Here's an idea:

Cut the Dataplan cost and you'll see your profits soar.

We hear things that AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint are reaching bandwidth limits with the increase of Cell cards and Smartphones. They've all purchased a part of the 700Mhz Spectrum for a huge boost in their signal quality and bandwidth.

I think a $10 cut in their data plan will allow a massive increase of smartphone purchases/usage. This will easily be replaced with a larger SMS addon.

Teens love the indirect SMS service and it costs the carriers NOTHING holding data in their network until a phone is able to download the message. 160bytes... transmitted in milliseconds. yet, they charge $.5 to send and receive. That's a Cash cow right there.
