AT&T Removing Individual Limited Text Messaging Plans Starting August 21

Starting August 21, AT&T will be slimming down and removing its limited text messaging package — ten bucks for one thousand texts — leaving the twenty dollar Messaging Unlimited plan as the sole survivor. AT&T users will have no other choice regarding text messages when the change takes hold, other than a pay-per-text and pay-per-picture-or-video plan, which will cost twenty and thirty cents per messages, respectively. The Family Unlimited Messaging plan remains unscathed.

An AT&T representative confirmed to Engadget that current AT&T customers can keep their texting plans, even if they switch phones. Though the removal of the limited texting plan may seem inconsequential at first, there are likely to be a large amount of annoyed customers, since all AT&T is really doing is forcing customers to pay ten more dollars for text messages than said customers may have wanted.

    I’m annoyed and I don’t even use AT&T as my phone service…

    We are about to switch our service on 4 lines out of ATT… service is terrible in Alabama

    Finally, this service which actually requires storage and special infrastructure gets appropriate pricing.  Now if their data services, which require a router and bandwidth and that’s it, were unlimited and flat rate, that would bring that service in line with reality, which is that they’re the second largest backbone in the US behind Linden Research’s LLnet.
