    Phone companies in Ontario have actually been discussing charging for incoming texts lately, from what I've read. Maybe it's nationwide.

    I heard one time that text's are so overpriced. If you downloaded one song at the same rate charge as it takes to send or receive one text, it would cost around 200 dollars. Piece of shit overpriced ****s.

    Lol noob. Only text if you have unlimited. Otherwise you get owned.

    However I don't think that causing more damages un-does the other damages.

    Wow you think a 13 year old girl could figure out that her parents didn't get her a texting plan, and without one they're still going to have to pay $$ for your crap load of messages
    Dummy had it coming.

    I share 500 minutes/texts with my family, so between the three of us, we get either 500 texts, 500 minutes, or a combo.

    We barely use the minutes. We have like two thousand rollover minutes.

    LUCKY!

    My parents don't want me to have unlimited texting, because they think texting is stupid. If I need to talk to someone, I should call them or e-mail them. ._.
    I think I get 100 minutes for $20, and 60 texts for $3. ._.

    Nononono. xD I didn't mean e-mail them using my phone. I meant e-mail them as in, going on the computer. :P

    And they don't want me using my cell while I'm at home. I have to use the home phone if I wanted to talk to anyone. ._.

    This is why after the person hits a certain amount of texts they disable texting. Go T-Mobile?

    So your company allows 3-6k texts a month? I think you might just have unlimited.

    Reminds me of a good joke



    You so stupid, you went over on unlimited texts.

    Ok didn't say it was a good joke.

    I've spent Way over 200$ before when I was younger without asking permission. I got in so much trouble that It's a wonder I'm still alive and roaming and playing P2P and expensive CS MMO's anymore.

    Honestly you just DO NOT do that, it doesn't matter who it is, you never run up a bill on something stupid.

    I get free text to other people using the same company as me, and about 6 cents (euro) each for others.

    You need to get yourself a monthly contract dude....

    With that said on my old phone i could spend 20 pounds a week without even using my phone properly...ridiculous. Its like PayasYouGo is just a way for you to throw money in the bin.
