What is the cost for text messages on GeoSIM?
Each SMS message costs $0.17, so that would be the disadvantage for GeoSIM if you use the text commands frequently. I have not used any texts on my account subsequent to the initial configuration, hence my comment about the charges only totaling one or two bucks per month.
[Until recently the AT&T plan I had selected for my iPhone charged $0.25 per SMS because I don't use the phone for calls often enough to justify an unlimited plan, and I had no intention to use SMS, as a matter of principle. The incremental cost for the carrier to transmit an SMS message is nearly zero, so it has been a pure profit service for the carriers. I had SMS blocked on my phone because the only messages I received were spam, so when smorgasbord was helping me do the OVMS installation we had to use his phone temporarily.]
