When am I charged for received texts?

I do not have a text plan, nor do I have all texts blocked, as I would like to be able to receive an occasional text from my children or friends. This happens 2-3 times a month, so only costs 40-60 cents. However, I also receive some spam or other unsolicited texts. Is there a way to delete these before opening them? If so, will that prevent me from being charged for them?

Thanks for the feedback. Adding to what was stated, there is a way to block spam messages from going to your device. You can go onto My Verizon to block up to five numbers or go to http://www.vtext.com and register your number. Afterward, set up your preferences for blocking unwanted text, messages from up to 15 email addresses, vtext names and Internet domain names.

HT3529 When texting with other iphone users, the text used to be in a blue bubble. Now it's green. What happened? Am I being charged for these text messages now? I'm with Verizon if that matters.

Thanks for the help, Allan Sampson.
I updated itunes, shut the phone off and on, it still didn't give me blue bubbles. Kept following the suggestions on the page ... I didn't know there was an IMessaging switch, but, shoot, it was OFF. Anyway, I toggled it on and now the text bubbles are blue again.

Why I am being charged for receiving missed calls in Argentina?

I have received charges for receiving missed calls which doesn't seem right as I am not answering them, knowing I will get charged. Not happy about this as my bill is much higher than expected. And my bill states I have called my Voicemail on 3 occasions which again is not correct. Can any one help? I cannot call EE as I will be charged as well.

If you leave your voicemail turned on when you roam abroad outside the EU, any missed calls you may get, the caller will be diverted to your voicemail as normal. However, as the voicemail platform is located in the UK, when roaming with your handset outside the EU, this in turn will always generate an international call back to the UK.
Those calls to voicemail you are seeing on your bill are these automatic diverts.
It's always advisable to turn off your voicemail when roaming to stop this from happening.
Details here with instructions on how to turn off your voicemail diverts.

Charges for receiving international calls

Can you tell me if I receive a call from Germany on my cell phone, will I get charged anything other than minutes? Is ther a per minute charge for receiving a call? If so, how much? If not, awesome!
I just have a normal Nationwide (US) plan on my phone.
Thanks!

If you receive the call within the Verizon network in the US, then it is just charged as minutes. If it is on the weekend or after 9PM and before 7AM, then it will not count against your monthly allowance.
Additionally, if it is from another Verizon cellular phone, the minutes should not count against your monthly allowance.

Hi Kel134,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are having microphone issues on your iPhone when you place a call to someone and they cannot hear you unless you activate the speaker function. In this situation I would recommend the steps in the following article to help isolate and resolve the situation.
iPhone: Microphone issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
Resolve the issue
Follow these steps, testing after each.
Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (refer to the pictures below to find your device's microphones). Check for these:
Dirt or debris
A screen protector or case
When you're holding your phone next to your ear, make sure you don't block the microphone with your fingers or shoulder and make sure to speak into the microphone
Turn the iPhone off and then on.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
If necessary, find general iPhone hardware troubleshooting suggestions.
For further assistance, contact Apple Support.
I hope this helps,

Am I being charged for international texting?

So I am doing a masters program in Ireland, so I'm international. Everyone that I talk to back home has an iphone just like I do, and I have a question that I cannot find an answer to.
Since I'm in Ireland, I don't want to have a huge phone bill every month, so I have all forms of roaming off (voice, data, and international CDMA). I also have Cellular data off, as well as MMS and SMS messages.
I've checked under the current data usage period, and current period roaming, and the data usage is 0 . When my friend back home texts me, he says that they are sending to me as regular texts. He receives mine as regular texts as well unless I'm in a wifi area, then we are both send and receive them as Imessages.
My questions is that even with all roaming turned off, cellular, ect, I'm still able to send and receive text messages while I'm NOT in a wifi area. This only works for my friends and family that have Iphones, so I'm assuming that it means I'm okay to text them while I'm not connected to wifi?
one thing to mention, that since I'm in Ireland, my service provider at the top left of the screen no longer says AT&T. It says "Vodaphone IE" and sometimes changes to other names like Meteor, O2, and a couple others. My plan is still through AT&T, so i'm not sure why it changes over to those. Maybe that's why I'm able to send texts?
I just don't want to rack up a huge phone bill, not knowing I was accumulating international charges. Because if everything is turned off except for Imessage, and the data under cellular in settings isn't going up, then theoretically I'm not using data right? or that it should be free? I've been here about a month, and my mom pays the bill. She hasn't called to say that the phone bill was extremely large, but I don't wan't to text if there's some kind of risk. That being said, I would really appreciate some help with the above scenario that I just described, because this has me clueless.

If the messages you receive are coming in as green, then they're coming in as text messages. If you can, check your voice, data and text usage on AT&T's website - that will tell you for sure if you're being charged for anything.

Multiple charges for single text message, 10 cents per minute plan

I have a Go Phone, 10 cents per minute plan, which shows text messages should be charged at 20 cents per msg. However, I am getting charged multiple times on each text message. The most recent was a message of approx 100 words, billed 4 times at 20 cents. AT&T Billing site shows four consecutive charges for this as a SMS Originating, Local message, each one 20 cents. Is my plan really 20 cents per message or is it a charge per number of characters, words, etc.?

Hi Thank you for your post!
A standard text message or SMS is limited to 160 characters (including spaces and punctuation), so when sending a message longer than that, it actually gets broken up into however many 160 character massages it takes. In your case it sounds like there were 4 messages.
Most phones will split and then combine messages together automatically when sending and receiving to keep their intended formatting, so it may not always be clear how many messages it actually takes. Many phones have a character counter built in to help with some of that confusion, it may need to be turned on in the settings.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Dmitriy

When am I charged for a Skype Call

However, some services such as Skype-to-mobile/landline number, group video calls, voicemail, SMS, online number, etc requires credits or subscriptions.

Skype Charges for Received Video Calls

Under Skype's current payment plan policy is there a charge to a Skype receiver of a video call?

Just wanted to post a more current reply. After spending some time today in online chat with VZ support, and having the rep tell me that incoming international calls ARE charged for roaming, and me persisting to get the correct answer ... she checked with global support and DID confirm Grothka's answer: that is, if the VZ customer is in the US and receives an international call, they are ONLY charged minutes; no additional fees.

How can I go back to text and pictures when I have set for only text?

I set to view only text when I am on a website. It doesn't show pictures. What can I do so that I can see pictures and texts on websites?

I rolled back a system from OS X 10.6.0 to OS X 10.5.8 via the Archive & Install (non-preserve) and it was successful. Now it didn't have any 3rd party applications installed. It just had the default OS bundled applications, iLife '09 and iWork '09. So that could have assisted in my success, I'm unsure how successful the process would have been if there was a lot of 3rd party framework modification. Although most of that would have been wiped clean in the Archive & Install, thus negating the problem.
Personally, I'd be more inclined to have you copy the contents of your Home folder (minus the Library) onto an external HD and manually reimport after a clean install of Leopard. The problem with that, however, is you'll lose Safari bookmarks, iCal data and Address Book data. So for something like you'd need to manually dig through the appropriate Library folders.
Are you near a Genius Bar? It might be worth visiting them and asking them for some assistance. I know when I worked there I was always outwardly accommodating when the issue was caused by inappropriate information that led you in the wrong direction from the start.

When am I charged for G3

Is there a setting that makes the ipad look for a wifi hot spot rather than using
my G3 carrier?

You mean your carrier's 3G network, and the answer is yes.
If wi-fi access is on, you can turn on Ask to Join Networks for wi-fi. When in range of an available wi-fi network that your iPad has never joined previously, you will be prompted if you want to join the network. When returning within range of an available wi-fi network your iPad has previously connected with, it will connected to the wi-fi network automatically.
