said by PToN: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 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.
