I don't text. My roommate sent me a couple which was fine. Then a co-worker texted me and Sprint decided to charge me for receiving that one. I still don't understand why that one was charged but the others were not. It's not like any of us are using the same company. I was so pissed I called Sprint and threw a fit because how the hell am I supposed to control if someone sends me a text message??? I had them block any in and out bound messages and they deleted the charge. It's only 35 cents, but it's the principle behind the thing. 'Course I didn't tell anyone that I did that; causing me to miss my roommates birthday BBQ because he sent a mass text instead of calling to invite people!
