New Sprint Phones Don’t Give You an Option
Do you have friends who are text crazy. They’ll text you that they just had the greatest shower ever, or that their cousin’s best friend just bought the most wonderful new gadget. No regards for you or your phone bill.
Chances are they have a phone that doesn’t open text messages automatically. It used to be, with my Sanyo 8100 that I would get notified that I had text messages in my inbox. I could then choose to open the messages or not, depending on if I wanted to spend the extra $0.10 on that persons wonderful emergency message about their dogs new coat. Those were the days of fair text messaging.
Well those days are long gone for sprint users. Now with my “upgraded” Sanyo VI-2300 I know receive text messages and automatically have them open within my phone. No option, no polite asking is done, just open and display and charge my account the extra 10 cents. I hope there is a way to turn this money making scheme off but I highly doubt it. Sprint likes to sneak charges in and then give you the run around about answering why it is they are charging you with horrible overages.
I guess I have no choice but to pay the extra $5 or whatever it is and add text messaging capabilities to my wonderful bag of technology tricks. Anyone else have a better idea?
