I'm with AT&T as well and have been with them for about 3 years now. The package I have gives me unlimited talk and text. When I got the package I had never sent or received a text an didn't even care about it.
That having been said, texting advantages. For example, my wife is a registered nurse and her time is very valuable. For things like stop and pickup milk and bread on your way home isn't worth calling her to the phone for. Other commonly used phrases can be automated as well in settings general keyboard. Their called shortcuts. For example, ILY for I love you. WTWYBH for what time will you be home, OMW for on my way are very handy. The only drawback to that is, you have to remember them and when creating them, they can't be combinations of letters that spell out words. With iOS 7.04 and dictation, this has reduced the need for shortcuts but if your being charged by the word, and your texting bill approaches the national debt, the money for an unlimited texting package is well worth it. Lastly, I've learned too that if you have unlimited, you tend to use it more. One of the things I use to enjoy was watching the Chicago Bears play football with my brother. The problem is, he lives outside Chicago and I live in Las Vegas roughly two thousand miles away. Now with texting I can shoot him a quick message such as Wow! was that a fantastic run back! or, I was getting a sandwich. What the hell is the score? As a result of texting, it's the next best thing to having my brother here. That's my situation. I'm sure that if you think about it, you could find many ways where un limited texting could be useful in your life. HTH ------- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

Hi, As usual, I’m way behind everyone else, I think. I decided to try to use texting. Right now, I am being charged 15 cents per text, sent and received. I use AT&T. It seems the only other option is to pay $20.00 per month for unlimited texting. I do like how easy it is to do with my iPhone 5S. I’m just curious. Do those of you who use AT&T find the unlimited option worth it? Thanks, Crystal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
