Does it cost for only receiving international text messages if you have unlimited text messaging?

Cynthia1693

I currently have a Blackberry Curve (Don't know if it changes anything, oh well.) Anyway, I have unlimited texting on my phone and I live in the US. My pen pal lives in the UK and wants to know if it would charge me if I were only to get (Not send) text messages. I'm confused because I read on Verizon the following:

"You can text message non-U.S. numbers of participating carriers with no additional setup required. A charge of 25¢ for outgoing messages and 20¢ for incoming messages will be applied. These text messages do not count against your text messaging monthly bundled allowances"

So the part about not counting against the allowances, what does that mean?

Please help.

To me that means if you have a text plan that allows 500 texts without being charged, you would pay 20c for the incoming mesaage, but a text would not be removed from the 500 text bucket.

As you have an unlimited text plan, you would be charged 20c for each incoming text.

Now I may be wrong on that too. The reason I say this, I was in St Croix last month and I was able to send and receive texts AND send a receive calls and there were no additional charges for any of that.

Fluke? Possibly, but flukes with Verizon it seems rarely is a positive for the customer! :smileyhappy:

If you receive the international text messages you will be charged $0.20, and if you send a international text message you will be charged $0.25. International text messages does not count towards your text messaging package.
