Should I be billed for text messages I did not open?

I pay per text, not a lump sum in a plan. During a two-day period in July, I received 21 obviously spam text messages (obviously because no one I know sends me texts; they know I don't open them; yes, I am a dinosaur). I deleted them unopened.

Yes, you will be billed for them. Your phone received them even if you didn't open them.

    I was billed for an application i did not purchase. I was emailed the receipt and it has been taken out of my bank account.

    Assuming this wasn't for an in-app purchase you forgot or made inadvertently, first change the password to your Apple ID in case someone else has been able to obtain access. Then go here:

  • Does anyone know when Apple will make the iphone able to put ringtones for text messages..

    after sitting in a group of friends at a cook out i heard peoples phones ring with like the transformer ringtone, a song ringtone and a funny ringtone. but to my surprise it was from a text message, i felt so left out cause all i had were those pre programmed tones. i was hoping that that would be something that apple would update and let us have but i yet to find any app or update that did it. so i lost the battle with friends that they should get a iphone cause its amazing. and now they got one up on me saying the evo, blackberry, and droid are better then the iphone. i hope i'm not the only one that feels that we should have special ringtones for text messages too.. i hope someone at apple reads this.

    You and your friends base the merits of iPhone, evo, Blackberry and droid on the ringtones. wow!
    edit: IOS 5 in the fall,  will have configurable ringtones for messages. YAAAAAAAAAAAAY

  • Charges for text messages that cannot be received

    Looking at my Xoom usage online today I noticed that there were 5 text messages sent to the phone number of the line my Xoom is using.  But, as discussed in other posts here, the Xoom cannot receive or send text messages.  I called Verizon to turn off the text messaging feature on this line and the rep told me that the text messaging feature is requried for the Xoom line, and it cannot be turned off or blocked.  
    So watch your first bill very carefully, you will probably be charged $0.20 for each text message even though you could not receive it.

    If you are billed for text messages on the Xoom you can contact us and we will credit the charges.
    Thanks

  • My phone won't show notifications on my home screen or lock screen for text messages

    My phone won't show notifications for text messages on my lock screen or my home screen, even thought both are turned on under the settings. Once I go into the messaging app, they will show up as new but not anywhere else. I get notifications for everything else except text messages.

    Messages should work with the email address that you use for your Apple ID. You have to be signed into that email address in order for any other email address that you have added to work.
    You should add your iPhone number to your Apple ID on the iPad, and then select that as the contact address at which you can be reached and all of the messages between the phone and the iPad will sync again.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

  • My iphone 4s voice dictation for text messages is not consistently working. Sometimes it works, other times after the dictation it just gives me a blank space. Anyone else having this problem?

    My iphone 4s voice dictiation for text messages is not consistently working. I've had the phone since Thanksgiving and it always worked perfectly, but the last few weeks it's been hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyone else having this problem? I tried the hard reset but that hasn't fixed it.

    I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.

    I have a Galaxy SIII and recently stopped receiving visual notification for text messages.  How do I correct it?

        Hmmm that's strange TopDiver. Let's get to the bottom of this. Have you checked the notification settings on the device? To verify the notification setting on the device click on menu>settings>sound>notification sound, then test device notifications.

    Create the following folders in your sd card.  Move or copy your ringtones to the proper folder and they will show up automatically on the right list.
    \media\audio\ringtones
    \media\audio\notifications
    \media\audio\alarms

  • "ringtone" for text messages

    Is it possible to set a different "ringtone" for text messages? I enjoy being able to set ringtones for calls so I know who is trying to reach me. It would be great if this can be done for text messages too.

    You can send feedback to Apple - http://apple.com/feedback and request this.
