Nope, but the 1st four are free, and then $.10 per TM after that. I encourage everyone not to text me.

I don't use it enough, so I just pay 10 cents a message when I do. Maybe 4 times a month.

Yes... I pay for a plan to allow text messages and multimedia messages. I think that it is $8 per month. My wife and I use it a lot.

I currently pay 10 bucks a month for the media bundle with cingular, but will probably drop down to just 100 text messages a month since the only person I tm is my gf and I dont use the other stuff.

i have an old MEdia Basic bundle with Cingular, $8/month for 250 texts, 1 meg web and 50 MMS (which i rarely use)

The web is great for checking scores, and I go thru 150-300 AIMs (sometimes my grandpa's company has to pay extra). Since Cingular has since raised the price and lowered the texts (and same thing with our rate plan) i think i'll be keeping this for awhile..

I have Verizon Wireless and have to pay $0.10 per message I send and/or receive. I would send more text messages if I could find a deal where I didn't have to pay so much.

I voted No, but I'm sure my work pays for it because we have unlimited text messaging, but not sure of the cost.

I've never sent a text message and wouldn't ever need to. I can receive them for free but sending them costs me per message. But my pager can send them for free since work pays for that...

Unfortunately, after 300 I've gotta pay .05 a piece (incoming and outgoing)

10 cents. a phone is for talking and dialing, not to be used as a keyboard. my opinion

I dont text message. What a fvcking waste of time. If I want to talk to someone, I'll call them.
