These costs are not even remotely accurate. If you are judging by the "Pay per use" charge, you are not looking at the big picture. The pay per use charge is there so people will see the value of getting into a package. When you are in a package, you tend to use the service more. Using the service more = happy customers.

200 text messages = $5
1500 text messages = $15
Unlimited text messages = $20

So by that, you are looking at .025 per text, .01 per text, or unknown. There are people that easily surpass 5000 text a month, on the unlimited plan you are looking at .004 a text.

I still don't understand why people who text still do pay per use. It doesn't matter if they raise the price to $50 per text, the packages exist for a reason.
