| Cingular does it too, only they charge $0.20/msg
when I first got my new phone from Cingular, I started getting spammed almost a week after. It was getting tons of spam, but I figured I wouldn't get charged for it because I wasn't replying.
Wrong.
Bill came in, and they were charging me $5.00/month to have this feature turned on, and $0.20 per message. The bill was enourmous. I called, they said their hands were tied. So I took my phone and my bill to the Cingular store, requested a manager, showed them my bill, showed them the spam saved in the inbox of my phone, and they deleted all the charges. They also turned that text messaging feature off my phone because I don't use it at all. This was over a year ago.
Hubby has the same phone service, and he didn't have a problem until last week with spam. He only got a couple of messages, though, and I told him to save them because he's going to get charged 20 cents per message, and he'll need the spam on his phone to prove he's getting spammed.
