I remember there was some trick people did to get unlimited text messaging with iphone?

Was it sign up for the top plan, then switch to a lower plan or something?

Tried a search and couldn't find the answer

It's very easy. Dial 611. "Hi, may I add the unlimited text package to my plan please?"

FYI: Changing text packages seems to require dropping your iPhone plan and readding it since everything is bundled. Both times I did it, this caused my voicemail to be reset. Make sure to write down anything important before you call should this happen to you as well.

I should have been more explicit. a way to get unlimited texts for the old att price that was a lot less than the $20/month now.

You mean how can you get something for nothing? Dial 611 and ask them if there is a way to get unlimited texts without paying for it. When you get an answer let us know because that would be worth knowing. ;)

You can't get anything for free :) you should know that.

What if you did, and 6 months down the line they figure it out and charge you?

A long time ago, I read in one of the 10000 iphone threads about a way of signing up for some plans for the iphone and switching the plan so you still got unlimited texts for less than the $20. I never said anything about getting something for nothing.

I just asked was if someone remembered the trick. A rather simple question. That's all.
