International Txt Msging

Does anyone know if VZW will have any time soon an Internation Txt Msg package? about 30% of my Txt Msg go overseas and each txt I send is .25 cents, and each I receive is .02 cents, this is not a big issue since I txt from my family's CDMA carrier's website in Venezuela, so I dont pay for the ones I send, just the ones receive, but It'd be nice to have a package so that way I can reply to them right away, what I do is that I wait until I get home and send them a txt from the website. Any input will be appreciated!

Thats weird Anxio.

From my training I recall that all text messagig including international text was .10 to send and .2 to receive.

If you have a text messaging package like 100 for $2.99 then your international messages should pull out of that pool of 100.

.25 a message sent????? Are you on an older plan?

Nope! starting on May 10, every txt msg sent overseas is .25 cent and each txt msg received is .02 cents, and they will NOT come out of my package of 100 txts for $2.99 oh! also I've been with VZW for about a yr and 3 month so I don't think my plan is that old.

No Audio, you were right the first time. International txt messaging is $.25 to send or receive. Domestic charges are $.10 to send $.02 to receive. No idea on when/if there will be a international txt messaging promotion. Also, it would not be covered under a domestic txt promotion since international texts are sent via the internet instead of SMS systems.
