Zachary,
Yahoo does this as well. I had a great reputation for great help on Yahoo! Answers and my account was suspended without explanation and despite numerous inquires, was never able to find out why it was disabled. All requests for information go into some black hole never to return...
I have been banned from Yahoo Answers without any reason except "Review the TOS". They never specified what in the TOS I violated. I have been through it line by line and can find no violation. I had a huge following of people tht I had helped who no longer get to benefit from what I know. Great going Yahoo! Answers...
I think you're all missing the point. Ever wonder why text messages are limited to 150 characters? The reason is that that is the amount of data leftover when a phone call is being made. It's wasted space. So if no one was sending text messages, the space would just be wasted...

Yahoo is not much better
Text Messages cost the carriers nothing...
