Alternative = BlackBerry Instant Messenger and PIN to PIN messaging... I sure hope they don't clue in and start charging for that traffic on a per message basis...

@Zoomer,

Good call on increasing the BIM use, but the problem with being charged with incoming SMS use is that you have no real control over how many messages your non-blackberry using friends/family send you.

Dark times indeed for Canadian mobile subscribers.

So there aren't reasonably priced ($10/month) "unlimited" SMS plans in CA?

Can you tell Telus and Bell you want SMS blocked (like you can with Verizon and others down here)? Seems rife for a customer class action lawsuit, if you as a customer are forced to contact them every month to request removal of charges that you've specifically told them you do not want to incur.
