T-Mobile/Verizon text messaging question!

[be1ieve1111]

Before my N95/t-mobile, I used to have a LG-VX8000 with Verizon and I didn't have a text messaging plan with either, and the way Verizon worked was that if you got a text and didn't open the text, you would not get charged for it. So If I receive a Text and just got to my inbox, it shows the beginning of the message,(and even more with the small font enabled) so technically if I delete the text and not actually viewing the entire text do I get billed for it or does T-mobile not realize that my N95 shows previews of the the texts?
dayene maybe?

i'm guessing you'll still get billed for every incoming and outgoing text regardless if you read em or not. call t-mobile up... i'd like to know if i'm wrong.

So I decided to go T-mobile.com for help, BIG MISTAKE. They don't even offer you any help if you don't have a T-mobile phone. So I did what any N95 user would. I sent them an angry email about their disregard for non-T-mobile branded phones. So I'll either get a "We're sorry" email or they will direct to the page I couldn't find and I'll look like an idiot. I also added the Text question. Hope to hear soon.

i just called t-mobile and the representative told me you'll get billed anyway for incoming and outgoing eventhough you don't open the text message.

Yeah the email I received told me the same. Thanks for calling. I'm still waiting on a response for their lack of support for non-branded phones.
