No what you are blocking is being able to buy ring tones and wall paper type crap and have it billed to your account not your ability to text or use the browser.
This should not have to be and opt-out but an opt-in but sadly The Phone Companies make big money billing for these clowns.
I got the charge on my bill and called Verizon to ask what it was. When I found out it was for ring tones and wall paper I told them I did not order it. The rep started giving me a hard time until I informed her that I had a data modem plan with no voice or phone so ring tones and wall paper were of no use to me. She then shut up and took it off my bill.
So sad a great company that was the first to hear the sound of the beginning of the universe is reduced to hustling ring tones to kids. |

Thanks for the detailed explanation. It is good stuff to know. But its not a problem or issue with me, never has been.
As noted my problem was strictly limited to receiving unsolicited texts from third parties trying to sell me a texting service. So even if I chose to implement what you describe it would not be a benefit to me. |
