No wonder AT&T gets away with this stuff. Seems like a majority of their users don't understand any of it. |

Google voice has email to sms ( and sms to email), so if you are using wi-fi it won't touch 3G. |

Best comment here. AT&T is banking on the fact that users don't understand this stuff. This is nothing more than a cash grab at the expense of their less intelligent customer base. |

SMS doesn't count toward your data - but MMS sure does. I do not have a data plan for the phones on my ATT plan, but every month I pay $2/per phone because someone sent/received a multimedia message. |

| That $2 isn't for MMS. It's called pay-per-use and someone, even inadvertantly, would have to activate the browser or other data using app on their phone to be charged such. MMS will not incur this charge. Check your bill detail online (since AT&T doesn't send the detail in the paper mail version) and you will see the usage of both MMS and 3G data and that the number, time, and date of usage does not concur. |
