Texting

if u haven’t confronted him do it now, if u have spoken to him and he continues to do it knowing it hurts u, than it should be apparent to u that he just doesn’t care.divorce is an option, therapy would be another option.

My whole family (5people) have razorphones and no one has a texting plan.. but i want to get a texting phone and texting for just me cuz id pay for it. so would i be able to do that or would my whole family have to do it too? or would i have to wait until our contract was over to get a new phone and the texting? im with att.

you can add texting to your phone only even though you are on a family plan there is still a separate contract for each number on the plan. the new phone thing it might cost a lot to get a new one with no 2 yr price drop but you can search craigslist or ebay and might find one

My friend has Sprint and unlimited messaging and she said you get picture mail for free if you have that. I have the feeling it’s a different plan. Any help?

Unless your plan is several years old, "messaging" includes text messages, picture mail, and video mail. This means someone with unlimited messaging can indeed send free picture mail.

This is a little confusing so i’ll try and explain as best as possible. I don’t have a data or text msging plan so every text and kilobyte is costing me. Looking at my bill it says i’ve exceeded my limit by 21 messages and exceeded my data by 1219 kb. I’ve been using mobile aim which has been racking up my kb and txt’s. So here’s my question according to this forum discussion ( http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/884711-1.html ) WAP AIM doesn’t use sms and is strictly just using the internet or data service and the Java version is strictly just SMS and not the internet. then why am i being charged for both SMS text’s and data if i’ve just been using one?? I should only be charged for the data and using the web. Or does the mobile aim use both SMS and data service? I have IM forwarding turned on but when i realized i was being charged i turned it off, does that have anything to do with it???

Thanks all.

You’re going to be charged for any text message you send and/or receieve. I have Nextel and for only $3, $5, $7 or $10, you can add a plan to cover text messages. It all depends on how many you plan to send. Check it out online and call the direct number to Nextel customer service to set it up. I promise it will be a lot cheaper!

Just curious…

people with absolutely nothing better to do with their time.

My family has the T-Mobile plan called FamilyTime Plus. We want to get a new phone for it and we want to add texting to the plan. Do we have to upgrade to the FamilyTime Unlimited or can we just add texting? How much would it cost?

You have the capability to text, but without a text packge, you get charged for incoming and outgoing texts.

However, T-Mobil (USA, I’m assuming) offers unlimited text on their Family plans for $20 per month. This is shared among all the phones on the account. You can also buy text plans for individual lines on the account, but only that line gets the benefit of the free texts.

I’m trying to text to a cricket phone from my pc using my online T-mobile account but i’m wondering if it charges the receiver.

It counts as 1 text message each time you do (if you have an unlimited plan, it’s unlimited). If you have a 400 text message plan or something, then it goes against your 400 text messages. If you have no plans, it’s $0.15/message.

I’m thinking of getting the Samsung Rogue. And I was wondering if it includes free texting or would you have to buy it.

You have to purchase it.

Now I’m thinking of having a plan for only two people and I was just wondering if I can know the cost of the service unlimited texting for a family plan with only two people. Help please!

Usually $30 a month depending on what provider you have.

I want to text someone but I don’t have my phone. My teacher said it was ok. It’s "free time."
