Verizon poised for SMS rate hike
We wondered how long it would be before other carriers followed the price-jacking ways of Cingular / Sprint-Nextel and decided to raise their own SMS rates, and now it appears Verizon won't be the low guy on the totem pole for too much longer. Word on the street is that The Network could be in the process of raising its SMS rates just like the other guys, which would hike the price from its current $.10 point a whopping 50-percent, leaving you loyal customers to pay $.15 per incoming / outgoing text message. Of course, this sudden, detrimental change to your agreement could warrant an easy way out of that contract, but as always, your miles may vary, and we're starting the countdown until Alltel (sadly) joins the fray right about now.
