BBHub reader Troy differs with the assumption that the upcoming rise Cingular will implement January 21 for text messaging fees will let Cingular Wireless customers leave their contracts without penalty should they wish to do so.
"Actually, you can't escape your contract because of this change," Troy writes. "It's's in the wording - text messaging is a pay-per-use service. The text message price increase is not affecting the monthly text packages that people have subscribed to."
Troy adds his belief that this texting price increase is identical in nature that the hike Cingular made to its Directory Assistance 411 service- a rise that Troy notes that did not allow subscribers to break their contract>"
