In my case I don't care for the green/blue bubble divide, EXCEPT that I have a limited SMS plan and every time someone messages me it potentially costs me $0.10. That is not that significant until someone sends a series of short messages that could have been bundled into one, and I can't help but think "this person just cost me the price of a coffee".
It's not even Apple's fault, but rather AT&T's confusing and expensive billing options. I could also upgrade to an unlimited messaging plan, but 90% of the billing cycles I'd be overpaying.
- cglong 5y agoWe switched from AT&T to T-Mobile years ago and have had a great experience.
- WrtCdEvrydy 5y agoThey added a data plan to my bill when I bought my first iPhone... it wasn't the $10 a month, it was the disrespectfulness of "you can't, we're forcing you to". Switched to T-Mobile that same week.

- ihaveajob 5y agoThanks for the tip. I'm looking at it right now. I feel like such a fool :).
