Messaging Question....

Does Verizon charge you when you send a message to someone else? Here's what I'm getting at.

I've been able to send create ringtones and then send them to myself and then it gives you the option to save it as a ringtone. I know it's probably a stupid question but does Verizon charge you to do this even if you send the message (mp3 ringtone) to yourself.

Thanks in advance!

I think they charge you

Yes....you are charged every time you send a text message and also when you receive one.

Wow, really....even if you're sending it to yourself?? That's just ridiculous! I could see if you were sending a message to someone else. Geez!

**EDIT**

I checked my account and under message usage, it says I've not sent or received any messages. I know I've sent at least 3. Is it not updating because of the weekend? You wouldn't think so because it's automated...I don't get it. It does say Pix Flix pay for msg $0.00. Does this I do have a plan for that or what? And then it says txt msg per msg charge. I'm confused. It sounds like Pix Flix messages are free but other messages aren't. What's the difference?

Do you have a txt/pix package?

If so, then none of the ringers you are sending to yourself cost anything.

If not, then you will be charged.

I'm pretty sure I didn't sign up for that but then if I don't have it why aren't they showing up on the usage page? It should show up immediately and not take 24 hours to do so. It doesn't take that long does it?

it will sometimes take that long yes. When you make a phone call, it doesn't show up immediately on the website....it's usually hours before it will say when the last call was made.

OK thanks, that's good to know.
