| Another Cash Grab
I was looking through my Rogers bill the other day and came across this: "Effective July 7, 2009, unless you subscribe to a plan,bundle or pack that includes text messaging, you will be charged for all non-premium received text messages at a pay-per-use rate of $0.15 each (plus applicable taxes). So basically, if you don't have a plan that already includes text messaging, you're going to start getting charged for received texts.

yea...Rogers announced this a while ago...
it sucks...but if you guys text a lot, just get a text message plan.
they can be had for as low as $5/mo for 250 free sent msgs and unlt'd incoming.
and if you've been a long time Rogers customer, just call and bitch...they'll give you a txt plan for free.

We will credit your account $0.15 for each reported SPAM message and it's free to report SPAM."

i don't know what kind of stuff you guys sign up to, but I've had the same number for over 8 years, and I can't even remember the last time i might have got a SPAM msg. The only unwanted msgs I get are from Rogers...and I'm pretty sure those are free.

This is pretty pathetic on behalf of Rogers (and the rest of them)...talk about a huge step backwards. I don't really care 'cuz I have unlimited msg'ing, but as technology becomes cheaper and more accessible, providing it to your customers should be cheaper too (look at Internet...remember when you had to pay like $30 a month for some shitty dial-up and you got 20 hrs a month?).
Anyways...I've NEVER gotten text spam (been with Rogers for 9 yrs), except the odd one (not even one a year) from Rogers and every time I cross the border.
But what's messed up, is since I've got my Bluetooth headset, my BT is always turned on...every time I walk into the newest Future Shop in Edmonton, it tries to Bluetooth me something...I've always cancelled, but it's kind of annoying.
