“Now we know why the cell phone companies won’t allow customers disable text messaging. It’s too profitable and they know teenagers are the source of most of it.”

Sounds like some folks need to disable their teenagers instead...

Don’t we conservatives believe in personal responsibility and responsibility for our own families?

I do believe in responsibility. I also believe you should be able to disable a service you don't need.

People used to text me all the time. I CANNOT prevent them from doing it and I still get billed even though I did nothing on my part to cause the charge.

The problem is, that you have no control over receiving texts. You can delete them without reading them, but if you read them you get charged.

So you almost have to get unlimited texting whether you want it or not just to protect yourself.

I’d rather have it as a disabled feature.
