• I set Nat and I up on unlimited text messaging for a month or two. I've gone nuts and have barely broken 800. The only way to communicate during Ike was text message so there have been high numbers. I'll probably call next month and get it knocked down to the 1000 plan just to be sure. That will save a couple bucks a month over the unlimited one.  Most of my friends just are not in to that much SMS.
