AT&T iPhone Service Plans: Bye Bye Prepaid, MMS Part of SMS Option

Did you know that a giant company can have a corporate hobby? AT&T Wireless’ hobby is messing around with iPhone related phone plans. AT&T provided a combined voice plus data plus text messaging as well as a pre-paid voice plus data plan when the first iPhone was released in 2007. When the iPhone 3G was released last summer, AT&T removed text messaging from the basic plan and provided a set of tiered text messaging plans ranging from $5 per month for 200 messages up to $20 per month for unlimited messages.
