They should also do something about the spam txts that automatically deduct minutes off of pay-as-you-go plans. My Mom, who is definitely not a technically inclined woman, was distraught to learn that simply by reading the txt messages she was getting she was having all her minutes she'd purchased used up.
I dont think it matters if you read them or not. once it is delivered to your phone, you are charged.
I don't have a pay-as-you-go phone, but I NEVER read text messages, and I don't get charged for them.
Are you sure you do not have a TXT plan included with your voice plan? I could have sworn you get charged the second it hits your phone whether you read it or not. I could be wrong though.
