This seems really odd. is there any background on why they would do this, ie expanded features or MMS counts the same?

most carriers would like people to use more text messages, as they take less bandwidth, can be queued to some degree, and relieve pressure off the voice backbone (no static or QOS issues).

are they trying to increase the cache of the text message by making it cost more, and making them seem less disposable?
