Yes, I think I got my first iPhone around 2010, and at the time I was still on limited text message plan. I don't think I got unlimited texts until 2014 or some

    I think he's in the minority because everyone I knew had unlimited SMS by the mid-00s before the iPhone was released.

      The unlimited plans existed, but it was more expensive than the limited plan I used, since I didn't go over the limit.

      There were big variations by carriers - that certainly wasn’t ubiquitous by the time the iPhone was released, because iMessage sidestepping it was important to enough people that everyone mentioned it in their reviews. For example: > Besides ease of use, there's another side benefit to this seamless integration. If you send messages regularly to iOS 5 users, you may be able to switch to a cheaper texting plan from your carrier. Assuming you send messages exclusively to iOS 5 users, you may one day be able to ditch a texting plan altogether. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/06/more-upcoming-ios-5-features-our-top-picks/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/06/more-upcoming-ios-5-...
