NEW YORK | Cellphone companies pledged Monday to warn subscribers before they go over their monthly limits for calling minutes, text messages and data use.

The pledge comes in response to a threat of regulation by the Federal Communications Commission, which wants to curb nasty surprises in the monthly bills of wireless subscribers.

CTIA-The Wireless Association, a trade group representing the major cellphone companies, said it also is promising to warn subscribers that they are paying roaming fees when they travel abroad.

The warnings will arrive as text messages, and subscribers won’t need to sign up for them — they’ll arrive automatically. CTIA said its members would have warnings in place on at least half their plans in a year and all of them in two years.

How nice the CTIA offers to regulate themselves. See that proves it -big companies don't need no stinking regulations as they can do it themselves.
