True that it takes up less bandwidth (actually, none). SMS messages fit in defined "dead spots" between information packets passing through the network, making their load all but invisible. That is why each message is limited to a certain number of characters.
Whether or not carriers are pushing SMS over voice communications, I can't say I've heard either way.
