I'm with Cingular, and I'm not at all impressed with their text messaging plans, though I suppose they may differ from place to place (I don't know, honestly). They have 50, 200, 1000, and 2500 messages/month plans. I'm on the 1000 messages/month plan, and that runs $9.99. The higher one runs $19.99, but on every plan, if you go over, they're 10 cents a piece, incoming or outgoing, which can get to be quite expensive if you over-do it. I've had bills that were $35 more than they should've been just because of text messages.
Their mutimedia messaging, I've not messed with, but I'm going to now.20 messages/month for $2.99 or 40 for $4.99. I don't know if you meant that or internet by "multimedia aspect", so...
As far as their wireless internet plans, I'm satisfied. I've never gone over on mine, and I have 3 MB/month, again, for $9.99. The main thing that sucks about that is buying ringtones. You can't preview them, and real music tones go for $2.49 a piece I think.
I don't know about phones. I have the black RAZR and love it, but it seems like other companies are getting them now as well, and color makes no difference, really. The phone has the best reception of any phone I've ever had, but the camera is seriously lacking (that may make no difference to you whatsoever though). Other than that, I'm extremely happy with the phone.
I know nothing about Verizon, so if someone with a Verizon plan chimes in about the good and bad, then I guess you'll have at least some information on both sides.
