• T-Mobile: 15 cents per message within the United States and to Canada (up 5 cents from 2006)
• Verizon Wireless: 15 cents per message within the United States and 25 cents per sent text message to International numbers
• Sprint Nextel: flat rate of 20 cents per message in the United States and International locations (up 10 cents from 2006)
• AT&T: 15 cents per message and 25 cents per sent text message to International numbers
