What I will never understand is that, everyone knows AT&T networks are all clogged up. (Constant dropped calls in NYC and California, etc.) And they could so easily fix this problem by simply charging customers for what their services are actually worth.
So, make text messages a nickel for the first 5000. The worst that could happen is that people will text more, and call less. Hence unclogging their networks. (In terms of data sent, how many text messages is equal to one five-minute 3G phone call?) Instead, they'd rather juice customers for every nickel they can, and then blame iPhone users for clogged networks.
I know that I regularly call people, rather than using text messages, towards the end of each month to avoid text overages. Seems like something is wrong here...
