The hit the sender with a text, then they hit the reciever with a text, and then they count that on the usage of your data as well, so if you send an SMS message with a photo, it will count against your data plan as well
quite a racket they got going! |
Purely my perception but AT&T seems to run a tight money buisness like you would expect from a banker. Make a mistake and you will pay. Texting has to be a gold mine if nothing else but from the first bill you receive after buying the kid a phone.
