Teresa Aquino-Oreta assailed yesterday plans by mobile phone operators to cut by 66 percent the number of free text messages allocated for subscribers.

Oreta asked why Globe, Smart, Piltel and Islacom need to cut free text when the companies already rake in much profit from the short message services.

"With these cellphone companies charging P1 for every text message outside the free allocation, why should they attempt to gain more profit at the expense of consumers, who depend on this cost-friendly service as a means of communication?" she asked.
