The cost within the network is the same: 15 cents for every message you send, regardless of where you're sending it.
Is the $5/300 or $10/1000 does that include incoming?
like do you get 300 incoming too? or is it combined?

As of today (at least), "a-la-carte" messages cost 20ยข to send or receive. There is a 300 message plan for $5.00/month, 1000 message plan for $10.00/month, and an unlimited plan for $15.00/month.
Looks like prices are going up!

What shows up on the bill of the Sprint PCS customer? Does anyone know? I want to send a text to an individual from my e-mail to them, but I don't want my e-mail address to show up on the bill, is that possible? Or what shows up on the bill on their end.

Typically what shows up is just a number count of how many messages were sent or received. Mine doesn't ever show any identifying information like it does for phone calls.

so it costs the individual receiving the email as a text msg money??
say you have unlimited text msging as part of your plan
if someone send them an email in the form of a text msg (i.e. sends an email to 2025551212@messaging.sprinpcs.com) is that going to cost them per message?
in other words, does "unlimited text messaging" apply to emails converted into text messages as well??

I was recently informed by a Sprint user that they are not charged for an incoming message if they delete it before opening it. Could this be true? I thought sms was not necessarily read-flag aware.

How much is Sprint International SMS per SMS?
It cost the same to sent and receive?
Do they have an International SMS plan like 300 for $5?
Sprint CSR is horrible!

so i'm confused. if someone sends you a text message and you don't have a plan does that cost anything? and if you get one of the $5 for 300 plans if someone sends you a message, does that count as one of the 300 texts?
