They're still fucking us. Have a look at how well TechCrunch puts it:

If AT&T really wanted to reduce monthly iPhone bills it could do something very simple: Start including SMS plans in its unlimited data plans. After all, SMS is data, yet it conveniently falls outside of AT&T’s unlimited service. The reason for this is obvious: Text messages are an absolute cash cow for AT&T and the other carriers. They are also an absolute rip-off, as they cost the carriers next to nothing to transmit. Instead of just folding these SMS fees into the unlimited data plans like rival Sprint does, AT&T wants to pretend to save consumers money by offering a limited data package for $10 less a month. What a joke.

I was ok with 200 texts being rolled into my initial data plan 2 years ago. but in this day and age of data and pipes, they're scamming us with this $5 per month crap for texts.
anyway, they are much better at
speaking their minds at Tech Crunch
