Re: Those text-message win cash tv advertisements

Is there a fee charged when the person sends the text message, aside from what their carrier charges them?
Possibly they work out a deal with the cell phone carriers where they get $0.01 per text message or something.

Quite possibly more.
If you text a code to certain numbers owned by ring tone companies you are automatically billed $10 a month to receive these cheap ass ring tones. To answer the question of how much money I can't say but I can say that the overhead for such enterprises is most likely very small and there is a large profit margin.
