It was just a matter of time before this happened. It's a few days old, but a few people may not have heard.

    yes they do...
    im on a my5+5 plan and with my 10ppl i send over 3000txts

    on top of that i receive well over 1000txts from ppl outside my10
    i usually call them back because i'm specifically trying to stay away from txting and prefer to talk, regardless of this choice im now forced to pay an extra 10$ for a fucking txt plan so i dont get raped on my monthly bill :angry:

    i fucking knew this was coming too... i fucking knew it lol
    when i signed up back in November it said Unlimited incoming txts*
    then the * said something about until july and i even asked the rep about it and he said it wont affect me ... fucking cocks
