For a $15 dollar SMS purchase you get 972 RP, 3 RP short of buying a 975 champ. WTF you can't float 3 RP?

This forces you to spend $20 on a 975 single champion when buying through SMS.

I understand carrier take a cut, BUT consider this!

Do credit card companies take such a large cut?
Does paypal?
Does your bank when you use a debit card?
Does the store when you use cash?

No, only with SMS. Give me a break.

I don't have a credit card by personal choice, and I truly hate paypal.

SMS is the ultimate convenience in my eyes, but look at the cost that comes with it, it's just so disappointing.
