Today, as PhoneScoop said, GoPhone gets texting and night-and-weekend packages, the first and second a la Virgin Mobile, the third a la...well, nobody's really quite done that yet. What's annoying is it looks to be for Pick Your Plan only...
Anyhow, for $5 you get 200 text messages, usable over one month (like Virgin Mobile), and for $20 you get 3000, cheaper per text but more expensive per month than Virgin Mobile's $10 "penny text" program that I'm on right now. Then again, some people love to text and this'll cover 'em.
Then there are the MEdiaNet plans, which cost $5 a month for 1 MB and $10 per month for 5 MB. While this isn't as bad as the insanely high penny per KB Cingular charges normally (for $10.24 per MB), neither package is lower than even the daily option on Virgin Mobile. The monthly option on Virgin Mobile, for the same price as the Cingular 1MB plan, gives 5x the data access, and likely better speed...even the $15 package only provides 10 MB of data...still 50% more expensive than the monthly plan on Virgin Mobile...
Also, somewhere there's a per-month night and weekend option, which gives you 3000 minutes for $20. again, this can be beaten by various Sprint-based carriers, which offer unlimited minutes for $18 a month (xTreme Mobile) or better, but still it's a nice option to have if you're stuck on GoPhone ;)
And I guess that's about it...
