It would have been better if they took away all of his cell service and banned him from cell networks completely. But for now this will suffice.

Even worse is that incoming messages cost .02 cents a piece, even with a plan it is deducting from your allotted number of messages. Get enough of these and it starts to add up. Thank God Verizon has a "Block User" option so you can block the text messages from certain people. Verizon really needs to join some of the other carriers and make all incoming SMS messages free and just charge for the outgoing ones.

Which carriers would that be? The only carrier I know of that offers free unlimited incoming text messages with every plan is AT&T. |

That's just not true. I'm a T-Mobile customer, and I know for a fact that they don't have free incoming text messages. |

Virgin Mobile does, and it's freaking pre-paid. You only pay .10 cents for outgoing, all incoming are free and unlimited. If they can afford to do it, Verizon sure as hell can. Verizon isn't making their operating money from .02 cent incoming message charges. Verizon isn't giving an option of nights starting at 7:00pm either like most carriers. All of them except T-Mobile offer a nights plan starting at 7:00pm, usually you might pay a little more because a higher price plan is required but at least it's offered. But we're getting off topic...

I agree. T-Mobile customer here also and incoming text messages are NOT free. The following was taken from here »www.t-mobile.com/services/textme···view.asp
"All T-Mobile products support text messaging. Send and receive text messages for just 5 cents each. Or, get 300 messages for just $2.99 per month or 1,000 messages for only $6.99 per month. Additional messages (sent and received) cost just 5 cents each."
Anyway, I think Verizon should have sued Jacob Brown and his ring however much it cost to send each unsolicited text message. If and when Verizon gets that money back, they should then refund/credit it back to customers involved. It would not only make Verizon look good to its customers, but also to people that are thinking about getting a cell or thinking about switching carriers.
Even if 100 incoming text messages would refund you back $2. It is the gesture that counts

There is no reason for him to have been on the cell network in the first place. Most U.S. wireless providers (such as Verizon Wireless) have an Internet e-mail portal for SMS; for example, [10-digit-number]@vtext.com for Verizon. And the area-code/prefix lists for each wireless provider are publically available. So just generate all ten thousand numbers for each area code/prefix for a provider, tack on the portal for that provider, and send it out. So, a few numbers may have been ported and they get the portal wrong, and many numbers may not be in service, but what does the spammer care?  |
