General comments- When you switch to a 'smart phone, that will do away with you "old plan,"  which might have included unlimited texting, web, etc. The texting and MMS will now be entirely separate. You either pay $20 for unlimited texting & MMS, or you pay 20 cents for each text, or 30 cents for each MMS. There are no longer any 200 minute, 1500 minute, etc. texting plans. It's either unlimited (as mentioned), or per use.  "It is what it is," and you will find most providers are/have switched to similar 'new' plans. Texting is easy money for them, with very little extra band width used.
