Text Message
A text message is charged at your standard outbound rate plus a maximum of 12p for the returned text.
Metro takes no revenue at all from the the receipt or generation of text messages.
WAP
WAP is generally much cheaper than texting. WAP costs are based on the amount of data downloaded and they vary between networks and tariffs.
A typical cost for one request for bus departure information from a GPRS WAP phone is approximately 2p.
Using WAP also has the added benefit that the information automatically refreshes every 60 seconds, meaning you can keep up to date with the bus departure information, without the need to request the information again.
Each refresh is likely to cost around 2p
