A 500% increase in the price of anything is hardly a "minor" increase!

It's definitely a significant increase. But then, some carriers have always
been 10c/msg to send OR receive.

No, he must be a right-wing Republican. Liberal Democrats would think
that a 10% increase is excessive.

No they wouldn't. They would want to add a tax to the .10 increase!

But they wouldn't be as annoying as some people who post to
alt.cellular.verizon and attempt to turn a thread about text messages into a
political mud-slinging jabfest.

And they would start a war against VZW and send 50 y/o week-end warriors
there to fight it.

Someone at VZW figured out it costs the same resources to send vs to
receive. They aren't different than anyone else: create a demand, raise the
price. Buy a "package" and save money (save the price increase). If you
don't like it: speak with your pocket book, cancel txt message use. Then
they will come back with some of plan to increase demand again...

Of course it was nice of them to send a free txt msg to your phone so you
knew about it the change

It wasn't all that long ago that it was "mandatory" for every agent to push
data. I guess it worked, and now they would like to make more margin. dr.
