If your current AT&T contract isn’t plan enough for you, then you might be interested to know that the cell provider has started offering an unlimited calling plan package. Now, for the low, low, low price of $120/month, you can chat away on your iPhone 24/7 without incurring those nasty overage charges.
Everything else about the plan remains as you’d expect: unlimited data, visual voicemail, unlimited mobile-to-mobile (er, duh?), unlimited nights and weekends (um, double duh?), unlimited rollover minutes (okay, guys, we get the point of “unlimited”), and 200 text messages.
Wait, 200 text message? Geez, for $120/month, you’d think they might toss on a couple extra texts, huh? Perhaps, but then you’d think wrong, pal.

the fact that ATT didn't increase the number of text messages suggests that the trend for mobile phone users in the U. S is text message first before making a telephone call, if necessary. this is quite in line the trend in Asia where i've notice users with their fingers poking away on their mobile phones more often than it's held to their ears. but this has been going on for many years. changing U. S. consumer habits "catching up" with the rest of the world. not sure if this is good or bad because this suggests that mobile phone users are not really speaking anymore but texting. the later leaves so much room for miscommunication.
it's actually quite fascinating.
This is absolutely silly! I pay 114 per month for 900 mins and unlimited text, just give me unlimited text and I will change my plan!
