Text Message promo on TV?
|
|
|
| Someone told me they saw a TV promo for unlimited text messages for $5. I
haven't seen it and can't believe Cingular would do it but thought I should
ask if anyone else has heard of this?
Chime in if you have!! Details please!

It's only unlimited to other AT&T/Cingular users. For some reason the
promo doesn't show up everywhere, so maybe it's being marketed regionally.
Here are the texting rates of the top four carriers:
In Network Any Network
ATTWS Sprnt T-Mob VZW ATTWS Sprnt T-Mob VZW
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
$5 Unlim* 0 0 0 200 300 400 250
$10 Unlim Unlim 0 Unlim 200 Unlim 1000 500
$15 Unlim x x Unlim 400 x Unlim 1500
$20 Unlim x x Unlim 1000 x x 5000
$20 0 x x x 3000 x x x
$25 Unlim x x x 3000 x x x
*availability varies

Yep. I've seen in my area, too. And I was equally surprised.

True, but he's got an agenda to disrupt newsgroups -- see below:

The unlimited text messaging option is not for $5, but, for $5
_more_. So, if you already have a text or MMS messaging plan, you can
add another $5 for unlimited messaging.
