LOL!!!
No one is putting words in their mouth...noticed the topic, IF....
IF anything, you have done just that. What it states on the website can be completely different on launch day. Which I am sure you have experience with other grandfather plans that AT&T is notorious on consistently changing!
Why would ATT charge extra for a service that is included in the text messaging plan on any phone and even other smartphones?
Tell your MMS sending friends to get with the times, and use email.
What do you tell the people who has non-smartphones on using email? Carry their laptop with them?
I understand that they are two different things, but you can accomplish the same thing by sending a mail, correct??
Most phones now-a-days can send an mms to an email. All you have to do is type an email instead of a phone number, but it depends on the phone. My iPhone has swirlymms so it doesn't really matter to me, because I send and recieve mms all the time through that.
Before the iPhone, a data plan is a data plan. Once the iPhone was released, now there is an iPhone data plan which is more expensive..hell, 2g dataplan versus 3g data plan..oh wait the extra bandwidth of 3g?
What happens when HSPDA comes out aka 4g, are you going to say why would AT&T charge more for extra megs of download?
It has happened and I will "assume" it will again. If I'm wrong, I win either way.
Once again, it's not about sending, it's about receiving.
MMS is available on pretty much all phones except the iPhone, hence, allowing you to MMS someone....I mean anyone.
Email, well, it's not on every phone. The smarter phones that has internet capabilities can have email but you can't pull an image from your phone to attach to that email because that email is usually browser accessed.

The charges will be across the board, not specific to a particular phone.
I thought "everyone" was going on about the iPhone being the only 'smartphone' that didn't have copy and paste?
I've no experience of other smartphones, but I assumed they all did it (hence the huge amount of fuss about the iPhone not being able to).
