Bell Pkg texting not covered in US!!

[hockey mom]

My phone bill from my trip to Disney was $854

1054 text messages at .60 cents a pop. No way was I paying it and called bell.

He wiped off all my texting charges and told me that they have had a ton of complaints. No one, not even them were given notice of a change and that is why he cleared my bill. Now that I have been notified though I will have to pay for any future texting.

The 60 cents a text is being charged by the U.S. carriers. It has nothing to do with Canadian Telephone Companies. Anyone who is having Bell reverse their charges will more than likely receive a bill directly from the company where the text messages originated. This has happened to me.

This is a really unexpected but we can't control what the U.S. is doing with the telephone network. Do not blame your Canadian carrier, they are unfortunately passing along the charges they receive.

Maggie, you should know that you will not receive text messages while at sea unless you have something like a worldwide blackberry. Seven miles or so off shore there are no cellular sites so you cannot send or receive texts. My phone only worked when were were in St. Thomas. on the seven night eastern cruise.
