Top man Ewan tell us that Verizon have announced plans to increase text prices by 50%

“The hike, which will take effect March 1st, will bump the cost of sending a text message to the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico from $0.10 to $0.15 per message, with the price for international text messages remaining at $0.25 per message. The cost of receiving a message from customers of foreign wireless carriers, however, will increase to $0.15 whether you subscribe to a messaging package or not.”

Incredible in a day where pricing is dropping globally.

I cant understand why we can’t buy these in Europe

Rumor has it that they were one of the top gifts in the USA this year. I gave most kids prepaid mobile credit but I am sure they would have appreciated this more. Another strike for prepaid.
