Jul 1, 2008, 8:08 AM by Eric M. Zeman
T-Mobile has confirmed that it will be raising the rate for sending/receiving text messages beginning on August 29, 2008. For customers who don't subscribe to any messaging bundles, or those who surpass their bundle's limit, the rate will go up from 15 cents to 20 cents per message sent/received in the U.S., Canada or Puerto Rico. Pricing for T-Mobile messaging bundles is not changing.

Step by step guide to get away from T-Mobile contract without termination fee! Say Hello to iphone
Starting on 8/29/08 the cost for SMS/MMS messages on T-Mobile's network will be increasing from $.10 to $.20. If you are wanting to get out of your T-Mobile contract without paying an ETF (Early Termination Fee) this is your chance! I just went through the process and I have documented it below.

Not the same T-Mobile
It seems like T-Mobile is straying away from its niche market. With al la cart text prices being increased by T-mobile for the second time in year and half, it certainly indicates that they are going away from the low cost vendor identity. With T-mobile still lacking a 3G network and spotty coverage, what is the advantage to this carrier. Didn't Virgin Mobile just lower their text rates to a penny?

Who does this really effect? Most people who do text messaging already pay for the bundle packs. Only the few people who do a couple text a month to their kids.
Plus our 3g will be fully rolled out by fall so yeah we are getting better.
