thats just retarded... especially with an unlimited plan.
even "unlimited" plans are a rip off. Unless you do 10 billion messages a month you are being fucked over by the phone company.

here's come simple math. Texts has alimit of 160 characters( some it's only 140 ) now 160 character is 160 bytes. It takes 1024 bytes to make a KB and 1024 of those to make a MB and 1024 to make a GB. So in other words to send 1 GB worth of texts and assuming you are using all of you 160 chracters in each message you'd have to send 6.7 MILLION texts. Now we all know than any one in this biz doesn't pay more than 10 cents a GB so the cost to the phone company is even cheaper.
