AT&T is poised to raise the rates of plain text messaging another $.05 to $.20 per message on March 30, 2008. Multimedia messaging will also be affected by a similar increase of $.05 to equal $.30 per message. Subscribers with current messaging plans will not see the increase as this change only affects those on a pay-per-use basis. This comes almost exactly a year after their previous rate hike.
