T-Mobile Short Codes

Messaging
Starting August 29, 2008, messaging rates will increase to 20¢ per message. This change applies to messages you send or receive while you are in the US, Canada, or Puerto Rico.
If you have a messaging bundle or a plan that includes messaging, the new rate will apply to domestic messages in excess of your monthly allotment.
If you send and receive lots of messages and don’t have a messaging bundle, or if you frequently exceed your current allotment, we offer affordable messaging bundles to help you stay connected to the people who matter most. Options include:
Any 400 domestic messages $4.99/month per line Any 1000 domestic messages $9.99/month per line Unlimited domestic messages $14.99/month per line Unlimited domestic messages for families $19.95/month per family plan* <ref>https://my.t-mobile.com/Promotions/Generaltemplate.aspx?asset=Pro_Pro_MessagingRate&WT.mc_n=SMSPrice_CommTools</ref>
