I don’t like posting news relating to carriers. Frankly I don’t care that the Nokia <insert number> has been released by T-Mobile, or Cingular. What I do care about is this garbage: raising SMS fees
I use T-Mobile, I subscribe to the unlimited WAP service called T-Mobile Web which costs $5.99 a month. They call it WAP but I can surf websites, in full HTML, just fine on my Nokia E61; Not to mention I use my E61 as a bluetooth modem on my laptop. I also have around 1000 text message a month built in to my plan, anyway that isn’t the point. Point is, if you’re tired of Cingular’s garbage then switch to someone else! I’ve never had issues with T-Mobile and unlimited data is hard to beat at $5.99 a month. I don’t work for T-Mobile, I don’t get commission if you subscribe, I’m just one really happy customer evangelizing a service I’m very happy to have.
Thanks to Cingular’s recent text message bump from 10 cents to 15 cents per message, (dis)loyal customers can now get out of their contracts without fear of penalty.
Starting Jan 21, 2007, you’ll have 30 days to give them a call and break your contract, provided you’re not currently subscribed to an SMS package. Why the generosity? You can thank Cingular’s own policy that allows customers to terminate their service if there’s a change in the contract terms. Upgrading fees from 10 to 15 cents per SMS counts as a change.
