You are absolutely right. Cingular's (oops AT&T's) prepaid only charges a nickel for international SMS. It's kind of a pain to carry a second SIM or phone, but if you're slick enough, it's completely free.]]>May 27th 2007 7:02PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/27/international-texting-package-in-the-pipe-for-atandt/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/27/international-texting-package-in-the-pipe-for-atandt/May 28th 2007 1:30AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/27/international-texting-package-in-the-pipe-for-atandt/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/27/international-texting-package-in-the-pipe-for-atandt/what do i need to do to make it completely free ?]]>May 28th 2007 3:19AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/27/international-texting-package-in-the-pipe-for-atandt/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/27/international-texting-package-in-the-pipe-for-atandt/
I've been using Cingular prepaid SIM's since they were still PacBell and have personally activated and used over 100 of them during the last eight years. All the SIM's have had different phone numbers and their primary use was never for voice or incoming SMS, but for outbound international SMS. As a matter of fact, I just sent a text to the Philippines on my newly activated (5/26/07) prepaid 3G SIM, and guess what, my account was debited 5 cents.

I know what it says on cingular.com, but in my experience it only costs a nickel to send an international text. Now, far be it for me to say you’re wrong, but I am right. Oh, and by the way, I’ve never paid anything out of pocket, for all those texts. As I said before, if you’re slick enough, it’s 100% free.

Thanks]]>May 29th 2007 11:35PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/27/international-texting-package-in-the-pipe-for-atandt/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/27/international-texting-package-in-the-pipe-for-atandt/Jun 4th 2007 12:47PM
