Razorback Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Do cell phone companies count you RECEIVING a text message as one of your text messages for each month, or only the ones you yourself SEND? I was under the impression only the ones you SEND out yourself are counted against you? I'm with Verizon if it makes a difference. Thanks very much.

GRN96WS6 Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 They count the ones you send and receive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Mine count for both. I use about 1500/month. I hate talking on the phone. Much easier and more convenient for me to use text mssgs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Total Sign Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Verizon count. At the moment they have no unlimited plan, 1000 for 9.95. Any additional are 10cents sent/2 cents recieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razorback Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Well thanks for clearing that up for me all. I'm glad I asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harris92 Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 That sucks they charge you for both, becuase you cant help it if someone just sends you one. It ends up costing you twice as much. Im with dave on the flat fee thing. Sounds like a much better idea graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razorback Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Originally posted by Assured Risk: You dont have to read it.? Well my phone still receives it though, whether I read it or not, it hits my inbox...I really don't think that's fair that they count messages received against you. I've had people I don't even know text me from other area codes and I knew it was someone typing the wrong # in but I still get blasted for it. Pretty gay.

Orion Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 t-mo counts both as well. we currently have 3 plans. 300 for 2.99, 1000 for 6.99, or unlimited for 9.99. and a whole slew of things with keyboards on them. oddly enough, our pre pay phones only get charged for sending, not receiving.

Text messaging works flawlessly I was with Sprint for 5 years with no problems either.. In response to text messsaging.. I'm with Verizon now and I couldn't believe the costs to send/receive IMs. Thank god I can at least get on WAP sites for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I HATE text messaging. It's freaking gay; if you want to talk to me, call me. Otherwise, leave me the fawk alone. The supervisors at work use it a lot to send messages out to all of the techs; this is the one time where I find it to be the proper use of text message, as they can't just simply call all of us individually. But 1 message to 1 person is just stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
