Isn't text messaging data? Wouldn't it seem that if you have an unlimited data package that your texting should be included?

Texting is not data, that's why there is a 160 Character limit. Texting goes over conventional voice lines, whereas MMS goes over data lines. Both are considered texts though, only because if they weren't no one would ever send a SMS they would only send MMS.

$55 before taxes/fees.

Plan includes:
Unlimited Messaging
Unlimited Web Browsing
Unlimited Data Usage
Unlimited Personal Email
Voice Per Minute Rate $0.25

I don't talk/call people really at all, but I am eagerly awaiting a real skype release (or a GVoice invite *hinthint* ;) ) just so I'll have the option.

I used to have the non-pda version of the plan, which was $35 before taxes/fees, and was right around $45-50 after taxes and with the few calls that really had to be made.

I think I'm getting ripped. 1 droid 1 env2. And my bill after taxes is 134. That's with 700 min, 500 txt and the data plan. I never get close to these I don't think. I might head over to the store tomorrow and see about making some changes.

Before you do that, take a look at your bill and see what you're REALLY paying for. You can do that online, and then when you do that, you know what to ask about at the store.

I just need a smaller bill. My wife wants a smartphone too,but we don't want to pay 160 a month for 2 phones, especially when I see others closer to 100

I think im getting screwed. But im not sure. Right now for two droid's Ive got the 700 min family plan, unlimited txt on both phones, data on both and insurance on mine. My bill for this month is $203. Does this sound normal? Me and the wife got our phones on Black Friday, so it was in the middle of the billing cycle.

it looks to me like you are paying for your data plans twice, so 4 times total, im no expert but thats what it looks like to me... dont know if that helps or not.

thats what i thought, but im thinking it may because of the mid cycle change.
