T-Mobile Won't Tax Twitter Texts But Will Hike Prices

T-Mobile USA finally divulged a little information on its impending pricing change for text messaging, saying the move affects only the messaging aggregators that serve as a kind of middleman between businesses and carriers.

So while countless companies will be affected by the change, those with direct relationships with T-Mobile -- a group that includes Facebook and Twitter -- will not see any increase in pricing. The carrier also said that labeling the move "simply as a price increase" isn't entirely accurate, because the change is part of a restructured agreement with aggregators.
