Completely wrong, but the cost to the provider is irrelevant anyway.
It's still a giveaway.

Not really, it's a sweetner. They have the givaway cause they know that most
people into sms wont stop at 30.

A givaway is something that is given away. Yes, you are right, it's a
giveaway when you consider that wankers like you will take it. But they also
know that wankers like you will use the "free" 30 sms, then follow up with a
further 120 sms at full price. Are they loosing? not a chance. they know
that there are 90% more wankers like you than ppl with common sense.

Irrelevant to the point of it being a giveaway or not.

Wrong. The offer was actually chosen for high-value users, so they would
have
