Hello, Thoguh I also know that people with a slwoer internet connection, or dial up even, if the message quotes to many other messages, the message cold take longer to download and, depending on their plans, cost more. Though that a message is only baout 1 to 4 KB in general, that should not be a problem, just thought I'd give my thoughts on here, since not everybody has high-speed Internet, or a flat-rate to lower the costs and only pay per month.
