Jeez, John, do you EVER bother to read what you cite?
The screencap you posted clearly states "Unlimited Texting starting at
$9.99 TO OVER 60 MILLION CINGULAR CUSTOMERS" (emphasis mine.) The next
line says "Unlimited mobile-to-mobile messaging..."
That's the unlimited mobile-to-mobile (Cingular-to-Cingular) plan I
referred to. It's unlimited to other Cingular phones only. It's not
"unlimited texting" anymore than unlimited M2M is "unlimited calling."

For some (not all) subscribers this is effectively unlimited messaging.
I nonetheless stand corrected that Cingular (AT&T) is now using "Mobile
to Mobile [M2M] Messaging" as a term of art to mean messaging only to
other Cingular (AT&T) subscribers, not subscribers of other carriers.
I had missed that -- thanks. I personally think it's misleading, fine
print notwithstanding, and grounds for complaint.
The closest Cingular (AT&T) comes to truly unlimited messaging is
Messaging Extreme - 3000 Messages at $20/month.
p.s. Feel free to clarify my posts if you must, but skip the childish
discourtesy -- it just pollutes the newsgroup and makes you look bad.
