We have ATT, and were switching over to the Cingular network because the said we would be getting better coverage.

I looked everyone on the cingular page, they dont say anything about cost for text, picture, or video messages. Does anyone know this?

Edit: Also the receive.

Okay, my friend has unlimited text with t-mobile to anyone for just 10 bucks a month does Cingular have anything like that. What about if my friend wanted to fuck with me, and he sent me a couple thousand text messages a day, would be screwed?

Thank you so much sir. Is there anything i can do for you? You were the most helpful.

Edit: Is that per phone of for all four of us? I might want to get the 4.99/month just for myself. So if my family texts will it come out of my 200 or when the bill comes, their charges be there 10/msg
