Question about AT&T cell charges for Text/Instant Messaging. If I don't use the $20/month unlimited option, it's $0.20 per message. Is the $0.20 charged for both messages sent AND received, or just messages sent?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Each message, as I've always understood plans, yes. Doesn't matter which direction the messages go.

Oh, and it is bullshit.

Other question--if I get a new iPhone, but don't want to change anything about my plan, can I do that? (I don't have unlimited data, but I do have the no-longer-extant texting plan between "unlimited" and "none" (or 500?))

meara,
yes, you may keep your plan (voice and text), but you need to add a data plan in order to have an iphone if you don't have a data plan already.

Replacing an iPhone, yes? Should be able to keep your plan, no problem.
Going to a smart phone from not!so!smart phone can demand leaving a grandfathered plan because of the data, but iPhone to iPhone shouldn't.
My knowledge is mostly Verizon, I will disclaimer.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Last time I upgraded, neither my unlimited data plan nor my text plan were offered anymore - all they could say was "I'm jealous" and roll it over.

Yeah, I already have the iPhone 3GS, I just want to get the 4S, and not have to increase my texting payment (because especially with iOS5, I'm not doing as much of it anymore! But some people still don't have iphones, so...)

I used to have a thing where I had a random number of texts each month (100 maybe?) included. I couldn't do that with the new phone, but I got to keep the unlimited data plan, which was FAR more important. I don't text that much anyway.
