Yup. Unl text was taken out of the system. They can still charge you 8 bucks and credit you if they really wanted to make it free, but i hate offsettiing charges.

My girlfriend had unlimited texting on hers and her sons at $20 each. The best I have been able to get so far is $7.50 each. Not the best but will do for now.

My fiance had the same problem. A tech at a sprint store did something to her account while looking at her phone and deleted the "unlimited text" that she had before. She called and talked to a supervisor with Sprint and the best that they could do for her was offer her 1000 text for free a month or unlimited text for $7.50.
They claim that they do not have the "Old Codes" anymore for unlimited text for free.
So she received the short end of the stick from going to unlimited to 1000 for n/c. But since she does'nt even text that amount a month anyway, she is ok.

Yep, I got the $7.50 deal as well - didn't even ask, actually, emailed ecare asking about some other plan, one month after going unlimited SMS on one line (for $15) - rep came back with a "no, that plan isn't available" answer, but they also gave me two $5 visions (down from $10/ea) and a $7.50 unlimited sms (down from $15)

It was like christmas in july, cut my bill by $17.50 before corp discount...

I do think that's about as low as they go. It used to be pretty easy to get 500 SMSs/free via ecare, apparently that 's now up to 1K txts?

This happen to me , I called Tech Support about an issue with my phone , and the REP removed it and didn't put it back. I got my bill next month to 867 in charges 0.20 per text Sprint said they couldn't put it back on but they could add it then offset it. You have to be very very careful with whom you let look at your account period.

Wow, I thought my grammar was bad x.x Maybe you can take a deep breath and re-read it?

Back to topic, I have 500 text message per phone free about a year or so back. I don't even use 100 a month so I won't bother asking for more.

Read between the lines of what I was trying to say OK. My point was that you can still get free text messaging, if you ask the right person. I have gotten free texts on 2 lines 200 each and my son has unlimited text messaging on his line. I do not need more than 200 on my phone as I do not use alot, like my son does.
So back to the subject yes you can get free unlimited text messaging if you ask.:Popcorn2:
