Re: Breach of contract? the difference is messaging is on by default on all cell phones. you can receive messages without your consent. people spam you without your consent. that would be fine if the rate was the same as it was at the time the contract was agreed to.
with pay per view, you and only you (or family member) initiate ordering the program and resultant charges.
see the difference? MAYBE you would have a point if txt messaging was turned off by default, but it is not. so you are wrong. |

Valencia, CA | You can also disable messaging on your cell phone.
The U.S. industry is a pain for 'opt-out'. If they don't give you any form of disabling messages, or charge extra to have messaging disabled (parental controls) then yeah, they'd have a lawsuit, and I'd be joining it.

| messaging is on by default. i remember reading that carriers don't always (consistently?) allow users to disable messaging.
when carriers start requiring users to TURN ON messaging, then i will agree with your point. until then, consumers should be aware that they can break their contract when their provider breaks it by raising rates. |

1 edit | Yup - messaging is on by default - I had to disable mine when I migrated from AT&T Wireless (Free inbound messages) to Cingular/AT&T. If they would not have let me, I would have sued. They should have a disable text option... it would solve this.
