you're only half way right...it cost 5cent to receive international text on prepaid, but 20cent to send. by the way, on post paid the pay per use is going to 25cent, from 20cent
I've been using Cingular prepaid SIM's since they were still PacBell and have personally activated and used over 100 of them during the last eight years. All the SIM's have had different phone numbers and their primary use was never for voice or incoming SMS, but for outbound international SMS. As a matter of fact, I just sent a text to the Philippines on my newly activated (5/26/07) prepaid 3G SIM, and guess what, my account was debited 5 cents.
I know what it says on cingular.com, but in my experience it only costs a nickel to send an international text. Now, far be it for me to say you’re wrong, but I am right. Oh, and by the way, I’ve never paid anything out of pocket, for all those texts. As I said before, if you’re slick enough, it’s 100% free.
