I use SMS to provide status/anomaly messages on our work servers. It appears AT&T is limiting text messaging to 200 msgs/month across the board. Of course, for a few more bucks per month, you can upgrade the SMS plan. On my old AT&T plan, receiving was unlimited (yes, it was) and sending was 10cents. I'll have to change my notification process to use email (yahoo or gmail). My guess, SMS must be pretty lucrative such that they can set a low level, hoping text-happy folks would upgrade and feed their addiction :)
Screw Larry's stupid helicopter. You're the man and if I ever held a conference for whatever the hell I'd hold a conference for, you and Amber would be top invites. (Ya gotta bring Steve Gibson, though.)

That's actually pretty awesome on the functionality side, not so much on the credit card side...

Leo, two things, like 4ndr3w said, can't get MBW, and what are the chances you'll bring the Tech Guy to WHJJ in Providence?

Sounds like the iPhone should be renamed the iSuckYourWalletDry. Oh, and Leo, please fix the MBW 46 feed. Thanks. ☻

I got the unlimited texting plan too - mainly for Twitter.

The Tech Guy on WHJJ would give me a reason to listen to the radio again, and free up some space on my iPod.

Phil, I like listening in the car, not on the computer. So its usually a week old podcast for me

That's what I love about the palm based Treo... Treats SMS like a chat convo. I have unlimited too...
