Beginning June 17th, Father’s Day, all AT&T/Cingular customers with a Family plan will be able to add a new Family text package. This new package includes unlimited text to include all multimedia and instant messaging to any carrier for up to five lines for only $29.99/month.

I’m sure this is going to please a LOT of AT&T customers. It just doesn’t make sense to use the instant messenger knowing you’ve only got 200 messages for 4.99/month on each phone. Any teenager could blow up your bill in a week without trying.

If you could just recall these faulty Samsung Sync phones, this family will be in AT&T bliss. If you haven’t heard, yes, that bubble in the middle of your screen is happening to lots of people. Contact Samsung for a replacement.
