Default Unlimited Family Talk Text Message Deal..

Cooming SOON!!

Unlimited texting messaging to anyone on any network, $29.99 for a FT plan. Not sure of the exact details but I'm sure it'll cover Picture and Video messages as well. Keep an eye out on Cingular.com and I'll also update when I know it's available.



P.s. How do you guys like the changes made to cingular.com... err wireless.att.com?

I had heard about this lastnight from a friend, that around Fathers day it may be out.
Glad to hear they are doing this & if it's true and as a bonus includes MMS like Verizon's, they will keep me as a customer without a doubt.

Heck I would switch to the Orange side at this point, since it would be a no brainer for me.

Thanks for the info Joe & as for the new AT&T forums, I like them but they load a little slow, I think Lithium did a nicer job on the design.

It will be like Verizon, for $29.99 a month it will include unlimited shared SMS on family plans.
I believe it will cover everything like Verizon's does, since I can't see AT&T not doing that at this point.

This was the last thing I was waiting for & it's better then the 1000 Shared SMS plan I have now for $24.00 a month since it will include the 4th line & no worries on overage sms.

So does that mean when this thing comes out you're going to pull the plug on your Blue plan?

Does this mean a FT plan (of say 3 or 4 members) shares a pool of unlimited SMS(MMS, etc) each month.

And not just between ATT members but other networks too?

And is that $29.99 per line or just for the FT plan? That would be a great deal, if the latter!

I most likely will leave my Blue plan for this.

That is the way I am hearing it's suppose to be all members share the SMS to Anyone on any carrier, and the cost is for the FT plan not each indivdual line.

I didn't get a lot of details from the person who told me & didn't want to pry too much too early into it.

I am sure Joe has or will get more info in the near future & will keep us updated, but if I hear anything I will add what I know here.

Considering what VZW is doing (and at&t being such a good follower), it wouldn't be much competition if their plan didn't match VZW's. That said, I would think it's $30 for the entire plan, not per line and it covers SMS and MMS.

Looking over Verizon's plan, I tend to agree. This will help me out a lot too.

Thanks.

I realy hope that this is true and this will be perfect for you. My thoguht is that this could very well be true so they could make the big bang when the iPhone is introduced. Thisk about it they want the milke the cow with the iPhone as much as they can and beat the rest. This will make all potential buyers be more comfortable to shell out the rumored cost of iphone.

Fire14 is the only one that will never migrate to orange. He will go from Blue to Blue.
