Unlimited text was an add on bonus which always had an available thru date, meaning the bonus was only available for a certain period of time. But Sprint always extended the availablitiy time. So even though it was a bonus, it was more like it was actually part of the plan itself.

Some people were confused by the date, thinking that they would only have unlimited text for x amount of days, until the expiration date. But in reality if you signed up with unlimted text it's there for the life of the contract.
