Text messaging Pay-Per-Use increasing!!
What it's going to do is make it more of a savings to be on a text package. Currently you have to send and receive 50 texts a month to save any money by being on the smallest texting package. With the new rates, it's 34 (17 in and 17 out) to save money.
We're notifying them in advance just like with the insurance premium increase and no one sued over that. Or if they did, I just haven't heard about it yet.

They state that this is not a change to terms and conditions, and, unlike sprint, will not terminate contracts for free.blockquote>
๐คจ This doesn't make sense to me. I fail to see how this is ANY different than what happened with Sprint. Can someone clear this up for me?

Perhaps the Cingular contract is better written than Sprint's contract giving them the power to do something like this.
T-Mo also increased the sms rate a while back, and allowed custs to cancel w/o the ETF b/c of it. I don't think it's really a difference in the contract, but the carriers waived ETFs to avoid bad PR.

it's like the electric company raising rates... it's just something we have to deal with. remember when verizon raised theirs to match cingular???
Does anyone know how many customers Sprint lost in Oct. anyway?
