Someone told me they saw a TV promo for unlimited text messages for $5. I
haven't seen it and can't believe Cingular would do it but thought I should
ask if anyone else has heard of this?
Chime in if you have!! Details please!

It's only unlimited to other AT&T/Cingular users. For some reason the
promo doesn't show up everywhere, so maybe it's being marketed regionally.
Here are the texting rates of the top four carriers:

True, but he's got an agenda to disrupt newsgroups -- see below:

Yep. I've seen in my area, too. And I was equally surprised.

The unlimited text messaging option is not for $5, but, for $5
_more_. So, if you already have a text or MMS messaging plan, you can
add another $5 for unlimited messaging.
