Back then that translated directly to “we want to cost you money” because you’d need the unlimited plans for text messages if you sent more than like, what, 20 a month? 50? I don’t recall but it wasn’t a lot compared to today where that’s the primary means of communication for the vast majority of people, so we have multiple platforms to do it and lol charging per text.
Oh and unlimited didn’t include web browsing, that was separate. And only if you had a compatible phone.
Iirc, it was like $0.10/message? So yeah, the brats were costing me money lol. And I was definitely on a T9 flip phone, none of this internet nonsense.
