texting and data plan
I do not understand why texting is not included in the data plan. it should be unlimited. its ridiculous that you can get great internet access, emailing, ect and not texting. you can freaking EMAIL... but not text? It just seems like another way to get money from us.
can't someone just go on the internet, onto a free texting site, and text someone? I can't imagine that texting people actually costs att that much money and anyways they are making 30$ from data anways. the 5$ for 200 texts should be 5$ for unlimated. there were over 1 mil phones sold in the first few days. thats 5 million dollars. if that can't pay for texting machines and services/ servers/ data centers/ ect than they are screwed. seems odd to me. any feedback/ comments? |

I wonder why Att unlimited text is like 20-25 dollars, yet go to T-Mobile and get the same thing for $15 dollars
 I can get 600 minutes with unlimited nights and weekends, along with data and unlimited text at T-mobile for $60 dollars!!!! -And the Att iPhone v1 lowest plan of 450 min with data and 200 text was $60 dollars

I know this is horribly off-topic, but I just wanted to thank ColsTiger, I'm finding all of the links in your signature -really- helpful.

yea, but from what i've heard, all major phone companies are undergoing a lawsuit for price gauging.
there is little to no costs on texting for texts. the 20 cent per text is pure profit, and so is the 15-20 unlimited txt plans. we advance so far in technology...only to pay 20 for the ability to text...on a phone. lol. |
