Verizon: No Increase of Texting Fees
Here’s an update from Wireless Week about Verizon’s proposed 3-cent charge to mobile content providers:
“Verizon Wireless said today that contrary to reports last week, it has not decided to increase per-message text fees for content aggregators from 1 cent per message to 3 cents.
“The prospect of an increase is just one proposal and Verizon could not act unilaterally to implement it, a company spokesman explained this morning.
“Initial reports last week cited a letter from Verizon to aggregators in which the wireless operator said the increase is effective Nov. 1.
“That was a misstatement, the nation’s second-largest wireless operator said today.”
