Whats the diff between "free text messaging" and "unlimited text messaging" (if any at all)?

i think free means free up to a certain number per month. i think it's like 200 a month.
also, about the charging you the minutes for dialing... i know ATT does it, but are you sure they still charge you even if you don't connect?

I signed up in December and it's almost February. I have yet to receive my first bill ... I should probably call them and ask since I don't want to pay for the late fee.

I just got off the phone w/ a cingular service rep and the text messaging is limited to 300 free a month regardless of your plan. The $40 plan doesnt offer unlimited text messaging, its the same 300 as with the $30 plan.

RangerX,

You're the master of free, so it doesn't surprise me that you're getting you cell service gratis also!


To call or not to call, hmmm.....
