Houston, TX | No way out Plus, you forget that you are obligated to have SMS even when you dont use it. Of course you pay for what you send and receive. But try calling and tell them you want SMS turned off... The time that happens it will be the same time the sun dies....
It's free money for them, just like water bottling companies, its a license to print money... |

I don't know who your carrier is, but mine is Verizon. You can have texting blocked. I can neither send or receive text/pix messages and that suits me just fine. |

I currently have wireless from Qwest and they offer the ability to block all text messaging as well. There was no charge, just called up and asked that all text send/receive be removed from our account.

I believe you can do it on AT&T Wireless as well.
Who is your carrier? |

We had verizon turn off text and all other chargeable features, when her new Razr starting downloading stuff all by itself -- my SO literally isn't capable of actuating a download. She can't even program a speed-dial.
Verizon insisted, of course, that she was initiating all of the traffic, but after we had a little chat, they agreed that the best course was to disable and credit the nuisance charges (about $50). |
