[BC] (OT) Cell phone Text messaging

[mark@shander.com]

Right now, ala carte it's .10 to send, .10 to receive text, and picture
messages are .25 to send or receive.

Text packages begin at $2.99 for 100 sent/received.

The $5 unlimited text/Pix is Verizon Wireless handset to handset, and
messages from a Web Site or to/from other networks count towards the
additional 50 that come with it.  Other packages are available, and can
add features such as Ringback tones, so instead of hearing a ringing
sound, your caller hears a song you may have selected for him or her
from your "jukebox" until you answer or the call goes to voicemail. 
Set your ringtone and ringback tones on "Batman" and everybody
remembers Adam West each time they call, or are near you when you get a
call.
