According to a new leaked image (from GearLive) from Best Buy, AT&T is getting ready to change the way their text messaging subscription plans work, with two previous plans being dropped entirely while a couple of new ones get introduced.
Starting on January 23rd, new AT&T customers will have two options when it comes to choosing their text message plans. The first option they can choose is $10 per month for 1,000 text messages, which would certainly do for me, but perhaps not your text-mad teenage daughter. For her, there’s a second $20 a month plan that gives you unlimited texting. Additionally, if you’re in a family plan, $30 will get you unlimited text messages.
Dropped from AT&T’s options are the previous text messaging plans: both the $5 for 200 text message plan and the $15 per month for 1,500 text messages plan. However, if you’re already subscribed to one of these plans, you’ll be able to keep the existing option, although new customers will only have a choice between the two new offerings.
