>>It's possible the IM rate could go up. I doubt it since it's not likely to go up for the non-iPhone plans.<< Jeff - Note that there is a difference between IM (Instant Messaging) and text messaging (or SMS). IM uses the Internet as a transport, and text messaging uses the cellular network. The advantage to text messaging for mobile phone users is that it works between carrier networks and on just about any phone. I just spoke with AT&T and they confirmed that the new iPhone data plan will NOT include any text messages, as people have been saying. Kind of drag, but given the limited number of text messages I send, paying 5 cents apiece for them is probably going to be cheaper than buying bundles in advance. Heavy texters will probably already have opted for the ten dollar per month, unlimited messages plan. - Allen
