100% rate increase with Verizon!?

I agree with the previous posters.  In the merger from Alltel to Verizon, Verizon increases our prepaid basic texting rates 100%!  From 10 cents a text to 20 cents a text.

 

Wow.  For my teenagers trying to use texting to manage their cell phone use and cost, this is a knockout blow.  Especially since it costs the carrier almost nothing to deliver a text message.

 

These charges make Verizon the most expensive out there for text messaging.  We'll not be going with this plan.  Lots of other companies to choose from.
