AT&T Confirms Changes to Messaging Plans
Aug 18, 2011, 8:20 AM by Eric M. Zeman
AT&T plans to do away with several of its messaging plans starting on August 21, said an AT&T spokesperson to Phone Scoop in an email. New customers signing up after August 21 will be able to subscribe to the $20 unlimited messaging plan for a single line, or the $30 unlimited messaging plan for families. The only other option will be per-message billing at 20 cents for each text message and 30 cents for each picture/video message. The $10 plan, which paid for 1000 messages, will no longer be available. AT&T said, "We regularly evaluate our offers and are making some adjustments to our messaging lineup. Starting August 21, we're streamlining our text messaging plans for new customers and will offer an unlimited plan for individuals for $20 per month and an unlimited plan for families of up to five lines for $30 per month. The vast majority of our messaging customers prefer unlimited plans and with text messaging growth stronger than ever, that number continues to climb among new customers. Existing customers don’t have to change any messaging plan they have today, even when changing handsets."
