Well, with an already existing line, the rebate involved is mail-in.
With a new number, it's instant: right off the out-of-pocket cost of
the phone. That can be a pretty big difference to some.

BTW, SMS *is* "real text-messaging." The stuff before that was
Shortmail, and SPCS never called that SMS.

The way we do MMS, there's no direct support for moblogging. You'd
have to download the pic to a PC, and *then* email it to the moblog
(at least, for the two I tried that permitted emailing of pics).
PictureMail sends a URL to an online storage location for the
picture, and the two moblog sites I tried didn't support that.
