technology can be a wonderful thing

I just discovered that a Russian company has one mobile phone plan just for the deaf and hard of hearing. It charges 40 kopecks per text message (which is 1.3 cents) for the first one thousand text messages that the person makes in a month, with no subscriber fee. Not surprisingly, it charges a LOT for actual calls (25 cents per minute local) maybe so that non-deaf people don't get the service just to send cheap text messages?
