I somehow went way over my minutes in July and early August and had to pay out the wazoo (nearly $200) for over-limit cell phone minutes. I love to text (there's a big surprise!). Y'all think if I've had texting turned off for nearly a year and I get it turned back on that slammer/spammers will still be hitting me up? I'd like to be able to send little notes to my husband and son again.
I've gotten spammed on both of my phones when I first got them. The trick to reply with "stop" and they're programmed to stop (nobody wants charges pressed against them). Even though texting stop once in a while will cost ya like 10c (if you have no text plan like me), its worth the freedom you have to text. :thumbsup:
