Meemoo (npub148r…tqt6) ICQ had another nice perk over MSN. You could send messages to offline people and they'd see it when they went online.
For some reason allot of other instant messengers never implanted this simple feature.
>Shit was expensive af.
Same here. Most of us had had pre-paid plans which were expensive as fuck for call minutes and SMS to push you into taking a contract.
But even contracts often had a fixed number of SMS per month and if you went over that you'd get bend over the barrel if you send SMS outside your bundle.
Unless you blocked being able to send SMS outside your bundle but of course you had to go out of your way to enable that.
There were so many horror stories of teenagers getting massive cellphone bills back then.
