Re: Broadband costs

This is similar to AT&T charging $5/month for caller ID.
EXACTLY! I have an unlimited data plan. Texting is crude joke compared to the phone's data capabilities. Getting charged for INCOMING texts is insulting / double dipping.

Competition seems to be slowly working to improve the situation, though. An extra $5/month now gets me unlimited M2M texts (over the 200 included with the $19.95 data/text plan). It's still highway robbery for what it is, but at least I don't have to cringe when I get an incoming spam text.
