Are you talking about the MMS promo? I know it is $4.99/ unlimited MMS until the Dec. '05. That promotion also runs until april, but I thought it started on the 14th...

Is it just me or is this kind of a spendy SMS package? TMobile is 2.99 for 300 SMS, 6.99 for 1000 and 9.99 for unlimited--does Cingular only charge for outgoing or something that makes this a better deal than it seems?

Cingular charges for incoming and outgoing. I would love for cingular to have a $15/mo unlimited sms/200-250mms, and then $20 Media Works with the same plus internet. Oh well

it is a little pricy, it seems like everyone else has better text packages than cingular. Of course you can have all the minutes and texts you want with t-mobile but you cant use them because there service sucks so bad.

Ah, and would you like to give some proof for that assertion? TMobile has more than doubled its customer base in less than two years because nobody can call anyone, right? Try elevating the level of your discourse, you're making yourself sound profoundly ignorant. Oh, and it's "their" service.

WOW, you have a big job on your hands if you're going to correct everyone’s spelling and grammar on this forum. It’s nice to know we have our very own expert to watch over us and set us straight. 🤣

Yeah, the spelling-and-grammar Nazi comes raging out sometimes--my mom always says that I not only know that "anal retentive" should have a hyphen, but also that it should actually be "anal-LY retentive!" 🤣

i was told by my superiors that this promo was nopt supposed to be "available" until 2/14/05. i guess there is nothing to stop us from selling it though, unless they pull the codes back out of Telegence.
