Orange UK increases SMS text prices

Link: Orange puts the squeeze on customers | The Register.

The text bundle range will be revised to introduce something called a "digressive pricing structure": the more you buy as part of your plan, the less you pay per text. The standard out-of-bundle text rate will be upped from 10p to 12p under the plans, as will a minute’s talktime to a landline, and to another Orange phone.

I wanted to do a separate blog post on this one so I remembered how annoyed I was. I’m particularly miffed to see that the standard text message rate has risen from 10p to 12p to match the Vodafone rate.

They’ve put the price of text messaging UP? ? ?
