Standard text-messaging rates “may apply” in AT&T’s case, the company said yesterday. Sprint said customers who are not covered by text-messaging plans may be charged, but many are covered by the company’s unlimited text messaging plan or its $5-a-month plan for 300 messages.
“If a customer does not use any of these options, standard text messaging charges will apply, but they can switch to an unlimited plan” or text message plan “at anytime without extending their contract,” said a Sprint spokeswoman.
Verizon Wireless said customers donating to the Red Cross will not be charged “for those texts… It’s a way we support non-profits who are tipping their toes into the mobile giving water,” said Nelson.
Amanda Ginther, T-Mobile spokeswoman, said the text messages “will not draw down on a messaging plan, and customers without a messaging plan, will not be charged for the text.”
That’s because T-Mobile & Verizon are classy.
The other 2?
Not so much.
