Verizon tab and txt msgs. - Galaxy Tab General

Nice that verizon has txt msgs on the tab, but not nice they don't tell you they charge 25ยข per! The rep didn't even know they charged extra for it! That is just down right wrong not to tell the customer!

Yes, I've paid for a couple of spams too, I looked for a way to turn messageing off, but haven't been able to get it below 10 messages per conversation.

I called customer service and asked them to block my sms number and I just use google voice. Works great and it's free.

I had the same problem with tmobile. I am supposed to get unlimited text and 5gig data, but they were charging me 25 cents per text.
When i called the acted like they didnt know anything and took two months to fix.

I was told that Verizon to Verizon is free and the for $5.00 a month I can ad 250 texts. Is this true?

Verizon to Verizon is only free with the non-$5 text packages.

I just installed "Sync SMS" and its pretty cool. It sends texts from your phone to your tablet via Dropbox. You can send from tablet through your phone number as well. Cost 3 bucks, but certainly good enough for me at the moment.

If you want I believe you can go to your sprint account online and blacklist the number.
Is that black listing free?

Its free you can do online in your account setting permissions or you can call sprint to block it

Or install Mr. Number Call Block on your phone. I use it to send incoming 800/888/866/865 numbers and their built-in "suspected spam" list straight to voicemail. You can, of course, add your own numbers to block or exclude, and you can choose whether to send blocked calls straight to voicemail or simply block.

You can also add the number as a contact and then force the calls to go straight to VM. Click on the contact>edit>Send calls directly to voicemail.

Just call customer care, and ask for the retentions department. Tell them you are pissed that you have no way of monitoring if you are going to go over your minutes. I got the family addon added free for life.

[info] wifi calling with $30 300 minute/unlimted text/5gb web

To do this offer, i had to get a special sim kit to activate. Im wondering if anyone can confirm that the plan will still work with the new wifi sim. Does anyone have this plan and wifi calling?

With free wifi calling that is definitely doable. I mostly text, unless its work related. I have wifi everywhere I go basically. So this seems pretty awesome.

can you explain?
I've wanted to try this plan but I've heard theres a lot of BS that comes with it. like one person being charged $90 to cancel the plan because its not an actual monthly/prepaid plan.
also i dont know anybody with tmobile service in my area. so im unsure as far as reception goes in certain locations.
No such plan. The only $30 plan is 100 minutes, unlimited text, and 5gb data.
Monthly4G plans don't have "free" Wi-Fi calling. Sure, you can use the feature but you'll still be dipping into those minutes.
I would know about this because I've been using this plan for a little over two months now.

Exactly. Widow calling is for clarity, it still gets deducted from your monthly pool of minutes.

On the web Google voice call forwarding isn't set properly. I think that's my problem. From phone setting I have my Google voice then Registered phone I have my gmail address.. Then have Phone which displays my real phone number.

Sprint verifying discounts!

Well after probably 3 years of getting a 23% discount from my previous employer sprint is now asking for employment verification. So the one thing that was keeping on sprint will now be lost on Sept 26th. Looks like it's time to make the switch to Verizon. Anyone else get the message asking for verification or is it just something they do after x amount of time?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Not yet. Been on employment discount for about 1.5 years...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I have been getting it for about 3 years and no questions yet
I got a message on the website that I assume is about that but it was very cryptic.
Your Sprint service discount requires proof of eligibility, which you may be asked to provide to continue participation in the program.

I assume it is talking about the employee discount. Where did you see a date mentioned?
I got a text message telling me to go to www.sprint.com/verify. On that site lists the date.

This is something that they do randomly. They have always done it in one fashion or other. I had to do it a couple years ago, and they just called me.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I got the text yesterday, and gave them my e-mail, but I still have yet to receive that e-mail on my work address.
Yeah, for the first 10yrs i had sprint, I was on a retail employee plan ($15 a month) even though i hadn't always worked in retail. they called me twice in that 10yrs asking about if i was still working for xxxx and that there were "better" plan options now etc. With t-mobile going back to truly unlimited data, i may be switching....
I got it too yesterday and have had the discount 2 years (didn't know about it earlier as I had a military discount until then).
On another forum, a Sprint CSR is advising you only need to re-verify when you *upgrade your phone.*
Sprint inadvertently sent out the text to everyone. I just got another text today:
"We unintentionally sent you an SMS message yesterday regarding your Sprint discount. Please disregard. No action is needed."
Got another text today indicating yesterday's text was an error and no further action was needed.

I got one as well. A message when I login to Sprint and then I got a text a few days ago. However I am legit so I can verify my discount :laugh:
So like... you're complaining and want to switch carriers because for three years you've been getting a discount for a company you haven't even still been employed with, and Sprint wants verification rather than just letting you continue to get a discount that hasn't applied in years for you?
Go to Verizon. You deserve to pay more.

That's the thing if I wasn't getting this discount by the time I applied my current employers discount for Verizon I'd be paying less just not unlimited data, which is fine for me because I'm on wifi 70% of the time anyway.

Regardless, you are essentially stealing from Sprint... and whether they know that or not, their profits are hurt by it. I can guarantee that you're not the only one, so while your impact alone may not be much, every thief adds up. Losses like that are always passed on to the customer, so you are slowly but surely hurting the rest of us. Thanks, buddy
