The $.99-per-day plan has not changed. It still offers M2M and $.10 for all other calls, plus $.10 for all text messages, exactly as it did before.

What's changed is the $1.99 plan, which used to offer M2M, N&W, and $.05 for all other calls, plus $.05 for all text messages. Now it offers unlimited calling all the time, plus $.02 for all texts. So how has the price for texts increased, as claimed in the news post?

True. It's all just a matter of what works for you. I've got my parents on Virgin's $20 a month/400 min plan. Sure, they charge per text, but my folks don't text.
