Text Messaging is not a subscription service according to the same TOS. A subscribtion service (according to Cingular) is one that you pay a re-occuring monthy fee.. I dont see them releasing contracts for a pay per use price increase. “IF WE INCREASE THE PRICE OF ANY OF THE SERVICES TO WHICH YOU SUBSCRIBE…”

Saves many people $150 to switch. Although for those looking for a new phone, you might be able to call to cancel, of which you will be sent to the all so famous "retention" department where I'm sure you could negotiate a phone deal as if you were signing up for a new account.

I just have to hear Americans bitch as they send each other a billion text messages back and forth at how much it is. Hopefully with further Skype integration, text messaging fees (along with phone fees) will soon be a thing of the past and I can finally rest peacefully in my igloo.

Seems cingular has learned not to bite the hand of the person who feeds it (that person is the collective consumer base). If I were Cingular, I'd have this special sets of contracts available for users who want to get off of the .15 cent txt plan onto some sort of prepaid or unlimited plan, and thus rehook all the fish that I had to cut and release because I upped texting. Of course, if I were cingular, I'd also have a nifty Blackjack phone too... Haha, I remember the hype earlier this year with the texting increase by Verizon.
