Please help a Mom

I am a former alltel customer and used to being able to get on alltel site and turn on or off messaging on my daughters phone.

I found out last night that she is using the the phone very inappropriately and want to turn off messaging until she straightens out. The only thing i could find to do is to pay Verizon $4.99 to have that feature. Is there another way to get that done?

Thank You so much in advance.

Unfortunately there is no other way to block text messaging on the Verizon system. I do know that blocking data does not cost though. (have them remove national access).
