BEWARE. On my phone bill, I pay for each text message received. When I compared the text messages on my smart phone to my billed messages I had a hundreds billed that were not mine. My phone company said they knew others had the same issue and were trying to fix. They did refund my money, credit me with free text messages, and stopped the text message. Many parents may be blaming their kids for texting too much but it may be these bogus text messages!
