Is Verizon the only carrier that charges airtime for pix messaging?
cant say for sure but i dont think so, i think sprint does this as well but dont quote me on that 😕
...
VZW does not charge AirTime for Pix Msgs. Sprint actually raised the price of text msgs from .10 to .15 cents just a month ago. WTG SPRINT!!! 😲 🤤 🙂 😁 🤣
...
Um... unless they have the VCAST feature which gives unlimited data, yes, pix messages do charge airtime while uploading and downloading the pix msg to/from the network respectively.
...
With any PDA phones you will get charged data for receiving and sending pix, the VCAST feature is not for a PDA so it just uses your minutes when sending and receiving.
Makes sense?
Makes sense?

I was told you can't use data and converse simultaniously with VZW devices. Is this true with all devices, only non PDA devices, or just totally bunk?
...
I know you can not be talking on the phone and send/receive pictures or flix at the same time. You can receive or send text messages while talking on phone.
...
Now that I think of it yes they do. I learned that if you have a MotQ for example, they do charge airtime when a text message is sent.

He said text message. I think he meant PIX message. Don't you pay per PIX no matter what your plan, data or voice?
I do realize that you can transmit image files with a data plan, but the OP said "PIX messaging".
...
You would not be charged airtime then for a pix message on a Moto Q. Either way, the guy I replied to was wrong...
...
Do your reading on the Moto Q. I sell them. I doubt you do also, so do your research fool! 🤣
...
Yeah, guess I forgot I work in tech support for Verizon. Text messages NEVER use airtime, on ANY phone.
...
Dude, with the ever changing trends and technology it was a legit mistake. You know believe it or not, I don't know everything, even though it seems so. LOL! 😁
...
You are correct. Verizon charges airtime for the connection to the network. But seriously, unless you are sending an ungodly amount of pix each month, who would notice it?! I have a 3rd shareline on my account that RARELY ever gets used, but last month I used it to transfer some pix. It hadn't been used in 3 months, and I sent 28 pix, and had 30 mins of airtime usage on it, but never made a single phone call....pix costs mins
