So I finally broke down and got the unlimited texting plan for my iPhone. This is after almost a year of being on the lowest plan and resorting to the (free) AIM and Yahoo Messenger apps to do my instant mobile communication. That said, I’m still of the opinion that text messaging (especially MMS) must be replaced by newer, more efficient, and more flexible technology such as instant messaging, especially when it can be used across all devices (mobile, computer, TV) rather than being locked to one device (the phone).
And in case you’re wondering what pushed me over the edge… It was the $150 texting overage for the last billing period. Lucky for me, AT&T reversed the charges and charged me for the unlimited plan instead.
Over and out…
