You can sign up for a text messaging plan which drastically lowers the price per message, but commits you to spending $5, $10 or even $20 extra per month.
More info:
The cost of text messages has doubled since 2007.
This apparently is an attempt by the major carriers to induce people to sign up for a text messaging package which can lower your cost to about 2.5c per message, but gives them a guaranteed revenue stream.
The companies have not explained this move and some regard it as price-fixing, since all four major carriers raised their rates to the exact price within a short time.
A text message has one of the highest mark-ups of any item you can buy. An article from the NY Times points out the cost to the carrier of sending a text is virtually nil.

Strangely, US carriers require users to pay for messages received while receiving messages if free in almost all other countries of the world. Some have also pointed out that being forced to pay for text messages received is akin to being forced to accept a collect call.
