I wonder if any of you had received any notification from T-Mobile that international text messaging charge has changed on August 29 from $0.05 to $.15 per message.
I know it did change after I called them. They told me 2 things: 1) one rep said that since very few people used this, they did not care about notifying customers, 2) 2nd one said that they sent an insert to customers.
I checked my last 2 bills--no insert, no info, nothing! It is not posted when you login into your account--you need to search for that change on T-Mobile site! One rep told me that it was my responsibiliity to figure that out.
Secret practices?

@EasyRiter,
they told me the same when i called them. i can't say i remember seeing it with the statement.
as for item #1, they didn't think it was necessary for them to inform customer because according to them, not too many of us send int'l SMS. if this is in fact true according to their statistics, then why bother to charge 0.15/SMS when their bottom line should be not affected due to the lack of usage. what an oxy moron.

I HAVE CALLED T MOBILE AND TOLD THEM THAT IT IS NOT FAIR FOR US OLD CUSTOMERS TO SUDDENLY NOW GOT CHARGED FOR THIS 15 CENT OVERSEAS TEXT MESSAGE. THEY CAN DO IT TO THE NEW CUSTOMER, BUT FOR US, OLD CUSTOMER THEY SHOULD HAVE KEEP THE ORIGINAL PLAN. THEY GAVE ME EXTRA 100 MIN FOR MY INCONVENIENCE (VALID FOR 90 DAYS) AND GAVE ME A FAX NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER RELATION (813-353-6545).....
I SAY WE ALL GATHER OUR NAMES AND T-MOBILE NUMBER, AND FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS....AND FAX THE COMPLAINT TO T-MOBILE.
WHO'S WITH ME WITH THIS?...AND WHO WANNA BE IN CHARGE?
LET ME KNOW.

for those of us who have T-Mobile and tired of paying US$0.15 per international SMS, you may consider using the smsbug software.
The may be the alternative for sending Int'l SMS, I got this info from someone in Howard forum and it costs about US 3.75 cents per SMS.
Go to
http://www.smsbug.com
1. download it from your mobile phone
2. register your phone
3. they will send you 20 FREE SMS credits to try out the product.
4. you can buy more credits afterward (3EURO for 100 SMS...)
here is the thread from the user in Howard...

I just installed it and it seems to work well. Why pay for 15 cents to T-Mobile when this is only costing 3.75 cents.

Has anyone else tried the SMSBUG software? how has it worked out? I was totally lied to by Cingular .. they said the $9.99 text messaging plan would include international messaging....but guess what? U have to pay extra for the messaging internationally...so the 9.99 plan is totally useless.
Also anyone text-message Pakistan? I need a something that will let me message for free...I know Yahoo Messenger lets u send internationl text to India, Philipines, and a few other places...but not Pakistan

they charge also about 10 cents per message her in Thailand too, and they don't clearly tell you this, it's thought to be 'included'. Now I just use free web-to-phone email services such as these:
agent sms dot com
http://spicesms.com
http://smstoday.co.uk (has a directory listing of these services in a section here).
the only service i've had a bad encounter with is SMS.ac which is total thieves and charge wontonly.
