It appears that Sprint is going to be raising the price of text messages (which was just raised a few months ago from $0.10 each to $0.15 each) to $0.20 each, starting October 1. Consumerist posits that this is a basis for canceling your contract, but we’re reasonably happy overall with our phones and service except for, you know, the exorbitant charges. We’re going to need to take a close look at the costs and either get a text messaging plan or turn off text messaging completely; we’ve been paying $0.15 each because it was cheaper than the packages they offer (we don’t send that many text messages), but now…
I’m taking bets on which company is going to be next. I think it’s total bullshit, m’self. SMS does NOT cost that much to process.
*&^% Sprint
I’ve been using them for years now, and I like their are of coverage, but damn, they are just raping us.
Yeah,
If AT&T can clean up their act, and puts the next version of the iPhone on a faster network.
I have a feeling my Sprint days are numbered.
My monthly bill is not that much less than the Iphones basic unlimited package from AT&T.
I’m with Sprint as well, and had to just give up and get the texting plan.
It’s about 5 bucks a month.
And yeah, Sprint’s bills just keep creeping up and creeping up… I pay a lot more for a tiny plan than people on other networks do.
