It's only unlimited to other AT&T/Cingular users. For some reason the
promo doesn't show up everywhere, so maybe it's being marketed regionally.

Here are the texting rates of the top four carriers:

In Network Any Network

ATTWS Sprnt T-Mob VZW ATTWS Sprnt T-Mob VZW
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
$5 Unlim* 0 0 0 200 300 400 250
$10 Unlim Unlim 0 Unlim 200 Unlim 1000 500
$15 Unlim x x Unlim 400 x Unlim 1500
$20 Unlim x x Unlim 1000 x x 5000
$20 0 x x x 3000 x x x
