![Is a New Texting Plan AT&Ts First Verizon iPhone Counteroffensive? [Unconfirmed]](http://nexgadget.com/images/Is-a-New-Texting-Plan-ATTs-First-Verizon-iPhone-Counteroffensive-Unconfirmed_iNTni_0.jpg)
In line with this leaked photo over at Gear Live , AT&T’s going to be reworking its messaging plans next week. The $5/200 and $15/1500 texting plans will disappear, and in their place? A simplified system that beats Verizon’s messaging offering handily.
Apparently AT&T may have two new message plans, as shown on this purported Best Buy display screen: $10 for 1000 texts, or $20 for unlimited. That compares with Verizon’s current packages of $5/250 messages, $10/500, and $20/5000. Whenever you had an old AT&T plan, you’ll be grandfathered in and may keep it. But new customers will only have the two new options to choose between as of Jan. 23rd.
Whether cheaper texting alone is going to be enough to steer iPhone customers to stay with AT&T continues to be seen, however’s nice to work out the increased competition garner some immediate results. [ GearLive ]
