Just receive my bill and was shocked to find over $100 in charges for text messages. I have a group of friends who all have I phones and they started a group message that I was added to as well. It seem that to Verizon these all show up as picture or video messages when sent to an Android OS phone. These type text messages were not part of my 1000 text allowance. Not very happy right now. When I called they offered only to block these type messages. Now I cannot receive group text messages from anyone. This is totally unacceptable. Shopping elsewhere.
