Does anyone know if Cingular is going to offer unlimited text messaging soon? If anyone know that would be great.

Nope as long as people are willing to shell out bucks for a plan, or are willing to pay on a pay per usage basis, it won't change

Probably not anytime soon. Cingular is big on only having ONE coverage map (the Allover Network!) and unlimited text on a roaming partner would reck havok on the billing system. Until they can get it worked out, they won't. Look at Verizon with it's unlimited in, not the same coverage map as their voice plans.

Also, back in the day when Cingular did have unlimited text there were programs that were written that customers were using to get unlimited data via text... it cost the company a lot of money... that's another reason they are so hesitante on doing an unlimited text, eve...

Nope,
You are wrong.
New agent/employee plans just released gave nationwide coverage, 2000 minutes flat, Unlimited PTT, Unlimited Text, 200 MMS, and 5MB of media net. Check your sources, its a really good deal for the price(which I'm not about to tell the price considering how freaking cheap it is)

so that's an AGENT plan. not what employees get. employees don't pay for what i posted.

I pay $30.00 a month plus taxes and fees and have unlimited internet, and unlimited anytime minutes.I'm an employee though, so i guess it's who in the company gets you the best deal!

or add a text plan for 2.99 or 4.99 or whatever, try to do it on or just after your cycle date, currently there is a one month unl promo on text MMS and medianet plans,.....just like ROGERS in canada, callback29days later andswitch from 2.99 to 4.99 (or from 4.99 to 2.99,etc...) and the promo automatically re-adds itself)so u get unl promo for 2.99 , 4.99 2.99 4.99 in repeating cycles 😉

actually, there have been talks about this for a little while..
There will most likely be some new bundle plans coming out, which may or may not include unltd text. It's definitely a live debate..with little guarantee!

apparently some customer's found that since you get unlimited MMS with the media works plan that you could just attach an animation or a smiley face to make it an MMS instead of a text message and that would technically give you unlimited text.

it only sucks if the person receiving your messages doesn't have the same thing. otherwise it's 25 cents each time.

it would only be 25 cent for them, not the person sending it with the package.

Although i agree cingular needs to have better text plans i think people should stop being cheap. i think that unlimited in/out to MTM is definitely something they should look into. But if your really cheap and want unlimited then you deserve T-mobiles network which BTW cant even auto-update for daylight saving

in the end people who want better coverage thru cingular and Verizon dont mind paying up
