AT&T will be eliminating their popular $10/1000 text plan (for new
subscribers) on August 21st. New customers (or existing customers that
sign up for a texting plan) will have to pay $20 for unlimited texting
or use pay-as-you-go texting at 20¢ per text.
Earlier this year, AT&T dropped their $5/200 text plan and their
$15/1500 text plan. So in one year, the minimum texting plan has gone
from $5 to $20.
Just a sign of what kind of exciting things they have in store for
T-Mobile's subscribers if the acquisition goes through!
BTW, Verizon is still offering 250, 500, and unlimited texting for $5,
$10, and $20 respectively.
In comparison, if you go with a service like Pageplus, on their Talk n
Text 1200 plan, you get 3000 texts included in your $29.95 monthly fee
(with 1200 voice minutes and 100MB of data).
On AT&T, 1200 minutes (assume 900 peak/300 off peak), 200MB of data, and
3000 texts would cost you about $101 per month including taxes and fees
(estimate $6).
On PagePlus, 1200 minutes, 200MB of data, and 3000 texts would cost you
$39.95/month, plus you get much better U.S. coverage.

Yeah, and imagine what they'll do if the FTC allows them to swallow up
T-Mobile!!

When I first subscribed to AT&T cell phone service, the unlimited
texting plan was in the range of $60 per month, this new unlimited
texting plan is a bargain. Right now, I am paying $15 a month for 1500
text messages. I have never exceeded that number, even with two teenaged
girls (my god daughters) who text me frequently. For another $5, I
gladly upgrade to unlimited texting. The girls know not to text me too
much because I don't want to go over my limit, so if I had unlimited, I
wouldn't have a concern about texting too much.

Of course, those AT&T minutes roll over.
Just sayin'.
