Its spelled out in the contract that you can and because of that, if you are firm over the phone you win. Google it, alot of people are using it as an excuse to leave.

The 50% increase is just a way for them to cheat customers and make more money off of the popularity of text messages. Ridiculous.

When I actually found out about this, I called Verizon and TURNED OFF texting on 4 of my 5 (family plan) accounts. I will change providers in September (end of contract) due solely to this particular price increase. That is the best I can do, hope others do the same!
