Cingular Raises Text-Messaging Fees

Combine this will other fee increases AT&T is enacting, and they look to be in a position to reap huge revenue increases.

An AP newswire article by Bruce Meyerson, via the NewsFactor Network, reports that:

Cingular Wireless is raising the text messaging rate for customers without a monthly texting plan to 15 cents per message sent or received, an increase of 5 cents.

The increase comes two months after an identical move by Sprint Nextel Corp., which also raised the rate for pay-as-you-go texting from 10 cents to 15 cents per message.

Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile USA each charge 10 cents per message sent or received without a texting plan.
