If you’re an AT&T wireless customer thinking of signing up for the $10 / 1000 text message plan, you’d better get to callin’; starting August 21, AT&T will retire this plan and go to a two-tier system: $20 per month for unlimited messaging, or pay-per-use – $0.20 for text messages and $0.30 for video and photo messages.
The rumor reported late last night by Engadget was quickly confirmed by the carrier. If you’re already on the $10/month messaging plan, you can keep it, even if you upgrade phones or change voice plans, but new customers and existing AT&Ters who aren’t already on the plan will no longer have the option as of Sunday.
Google Voice, anyone?
