Great news for Verizon customers… let’s hope other carriers follow. In network free calling already exists for all the majors making messaging a logical next step. Perhaps this is just what is needed in the US to push messaging (SMS and MMS) into the mainstream…
Verizon Wireless has expanded its popular “IN” calling plan (free calls to every other Verizon Wireless customer) to messaging. For $5 a month customers can have unlimited text, picture and video messaging to other Verizon Wireless users. A plan costing $39.99 or higher per month and 1 or 2 year contract is needed to sign up for Unlimited IN messaging. [ MobileTracker]
