The Unofficial Speak Out Wireless Canada Consumer Page - Topic: Text rate change? https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/7-eleven-rates-and-plans/text-rate-change/ Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 Phil Alexander on Text rate change? https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/7-eleven-rates-and-plans/text-rate-change/#p12043 7-Eleven Rates and Plans https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/7-eleven-rates-and-plans/text-rate-change/#p12043 If you have text4free on your itouch, you can outgo text for free. Since incoming texts are free, it's like free texting.

What I find is that, I can't text to CANADIAN numbers, but that's okay since I mostly text to my US friends.

Wow, a service change that is actually neutral or positive! (Thankfully, because it's not like they gave anybody much notice in this case.)

I'm waiting for SO to start offering text "bundles/packages" (eg. x number of msgs for $y.yy)

I would love that or a unlimited package for like 3-5 bucks a month.

The most important thing for me is the 365 day expiry, and 7-Eleven is not changing that.

Now, they are changing it to $0.10 just for outgoing texts. Looks they are just evening it out. I do think that $0.10 a text is too high, as texts actually cost the carrier virtually nothing.

"Speakout: Text rate change

Incoming TXT will be FREE. Outgoing TXT will be 10cents each. Sending as much as receiving will mean no noticeable change in charges."
