Why not impose costs instead of filtering?
2 comments

The latest spam method right now is to get malware on to android phones and have the actual phones do the spamming. So if there is a cost, it gets applied to random people and not the spammers.

Also if there was a cost per SMS on phones these days it would be the death of SMS because no other system charges.

They do.
