Verizon to Increase Text Message Pricing

Joining the likes of Sprint and Cingular, US carrier Verizon Wireless announced a planned SMS rate hike for its customers. Effective March 1, Verizon will raise the current pricing of text messages from $.10 to $.15 per message for those that have chosen to not subscribe to a message plan. Verizon will also charge $.15 for any international SMS messages received, a price increase of 5 cents, whether you are a message plan subscriber or not. Verizon has made it clear that pricing will remain the same for any international text messages sent, which are currently set at $.25 per message.
