After reading about the forums about the phone plans I'm still pretty confused.

There are two plans I'm looking at

1) $79.99 and is 'PDA/Smartphone Nationwide Email 450 - Contract Extension'
2) $99.99 and is 'PDA/Smartphone Nationwide Email & Messaging 450 - Contract Extension'

Is the 2nd plan simply an additional $20 for unlimited texting and sending pictures?

I saw that 250 text is only $5 a month? So I think I may be better going w/ that.

Are there ways around using up your text's like using an AIM app or something for text,video, and pictures?
