iMessage & iOS 5 - can’t save me a dime

Southwestern Bell payphone with new AT&T signage

I just got off the phone with AT&T to see if there were some cheaper SMS plans available.  My wife and I are on a family plan and are paying $30/mo for unlimited texting for both lines.

I said we just upgraded to iOS 5 with iMessage and want to reap the benefits of bypassing SMS charges for a majority of our texts these days.

Turns out, AT&T only offers two flavors of texting:

  • $30/mo unlimited
  • Pay as you go - with a completely reasonable price of 25 cents per message. (I am concealing my outrage with sarcasm…)

So, thanks AT&T for once again giving me terrible service and no options to save money.

The representative was nice and answered quickly. I told her I was asking about changing my plan because iMessage is free and most of my friends and wife are on iOS5.  I said “have you found people are changing their SMS plans?” She said not really.

Guess I’ll stick with AT&T …
