Inspired by Neven Mrgan's post about how iOS's iMessages has affected his text message use, I looked into mine.

The AT&T site does not make it easy to go find historical data of message use. They do provide a chart of data use, but not SMS/MMS use. What I had to do was go through each month's bill and find the values, put them in a text file, then create a chart. I used Keynote to bang out a quick and dirty chart. I've included the raw data in a table below.

Comma Separated Values

So. When a few more of my friends A) get an iPhone 2) upgrade to iOS 5 and 3) turn on iMessages, I'll be able to turn off my text messaging package. Get to it, friends.
