Verizon announced new messaging plans meant for those who use the messaging/data features more than the voice features of their cell phones. All three plans provide unlimited text, picture, IM and video messaging, as well as unlimited mobile Web and data. None of the plans requires an accompanying voice plan. The consumer devices messaging plan costs $35 per month and voice minutes will cost $0.40. Mobile email will cost an additional $5 for that plan. The BlackBerry/PDA plans each cost $55 per month, and add unlimited email, and voice minutes at $0.25.

...
That was called the Accessablity plan, and you're right it was $39.99 for unlimited text messaging (no picture or video msging) but it didn't include use of the mobile web either.
i'm not very pc but the politically correct term for that is hard of hearing (HoH) and deaf is just deaf.

That doesn't even make sense? this plan is a messaging only plan...unless you have a messaging only plan for $0, you're not getting this for free.
