No way! I don't use txt messaging at all so I
have no idea. What was the deal?

NEVER MIND?? You post a message like that on here and then reply to yourself
with a NEVER MIND??

AT least you can offer up an explanation of some sort.

Sorry for the commotion - LOL... It was a combination of misdialing
the 800 number and Verizon not giving an accurate explanation of the
900 callback.

Turns out... the 800 number WAS a valid number and the 900 callback
was not actually a telephone number, but an internal Verizon account
to insure customers don't get charged; with a VERY poor choice of
prefix!

They were just trying to get a hold of me because I was a month behind
on my bill.

A better question is why they don't just send the message from the phone
number they want you to call and save the whole hassle.

Well, not really, except in that is causes some confusion. In reality
though, I believe 900 numbers are blocked on Verizon cell phones.

What!? I've never called a 900 number but I wouldn't
be very happy if any number was blocked on my cell phone.

You obviously have been very unhappy for a long time without even knowing
it. NONE of the cell companies allow 900 # calling, NONE OF THEM!
