Check out the prices for a text message plan on AT&T, the exclusive carrier of the iPhone 3G in the United States. AT&T wants twenty cents ($0.20) per text message if you don’t sign up for a plan. A text message is nothing more than 160 bytes of data. The max is 160 characters, and one character equals one byte of data. Great.
In other words, if AT&T charged data downloads at the rate they charge text messages downloading 1MB of data would cost you $1,310.72.

This is a way of making sure people get unlimited data plans. I've had unlimited texting since I've gotten my phone because without it, it's always a worry to see if I have texts left or not.

There are applications that'll let you send some 480 characters... that is if you have a smart phone. Otherwise, eh, I have it. Would rather much pay $30 bucks a month rather than hundreds of dollars - which by the way has happened before.
