Both phonescoop and your copied article for the most part are correct, but you both fail to mention that these plans are geared towards the hearing impaired, not as a direct impact or answer to a series of requests from our average customers.
Just to quote and link the article that it seems both of you glossed over to make it look like we were putting these out in response to texting kids or what have you.
To quote: “We developed these messaging plans in response to feedback from our customers,” said Robert Miller, vice president - marketing for Verizon Wireless. “We have a growing number of customers, particularly from the deaf or hard of hearing community, who are using their wireless phones to communicate via messaging. Our Nationwide Messaging plans offer an affordable solution for customers who primarily use messaging to communicate, giving them more choices to only pay for services they need.”

Also these plans have always been availble, they have simply been tweaked to be more available should a regular customer choose to get this plan.
