Not trying to start another bash ATT discussion but it's easy to see that not providing you with an accurate up to minute text usage count is an easy way to gently nudge customers into the unlimited bucket. "Rather than risk going over, why not just get the unlimited package then you won't have to worry about going over". I'm sure we all heard that line.
