I actually never had that. I think my plan was just 400 text messages and 400 minutes or something like that. If texts came from the same carrier I wasn't charged for those but I would be charged for the ones I sent out. I remember my one friend's boyfriend bought stupid ringtones in the store and I ended up having to pay like $15 extra for that crap. I was mad.Right?! And remember how we used to have to wait to text until after 7 when the rates went down?! SO harsh!
