Author does everyone automatically get #@vtext.com?

As long as a vzw customer has texting capabilities, are all customers
textable via email at <phone-number>@vtext.com ...even if they never
registered at vtext?

TIA

Usually yes, however, for people that get spammed (like I did by text
messages), they can call CS and turn off all texting altogether, in which
case it won't work anymore

Does turning off Texting still turn off Voicemail notification, too, like
it used to do here in Charleston, SC?

Can't say for everyone else, I have it turned off, and still get VM alerts,
and just to really confuse the issue, I went to vtext and made a pseudonym
(name, rather than my phone number) and people can send email to that name,
and it goes thru, even though text messages to my phone number are
blocked...

PS, also still get the automated free messages like when my bill is ready
online to look at etc...

Thanks. I turned off texting on VZW when I used to be their customer,
here, and the voicemail notifications all stopped, so I had to turn it
back on. Maybe they fixed it.
