I was astounded today when I looked at my transactions for the month - and saw these &amp;quot;Non Financial Transaction&amp;quot; on my statement! They were apparently charges for some totally frivolous trivia answers such as :&amp;quot;90 percdnt of Canadian People live very close to the American Border&amp;quot; Like I would care !! Plus the fact that I already knew this :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have contacted Telus and requested that All incoming text messages are blocked and that any charges incurred so far will be reversed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Merry Christmas everyone!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dianne&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.itworldcanada.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=50246" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Europe fights back against "rip off" texting prices</title><link>http://www.itworldcanada.com/blogs/15cents/2008/07/17/europe-fights-back-against-rip-off-texting-prices/50251/#50253</link><pubDate>Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:11:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f052fe88-b600-4904-ab02-970bbd10f77f:50253</guid><dc:creator>HOFER</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;YOU GUYS ARE A RIP OFF I JUST PUT MIN ON MY PHONE AND THEY ARE GONE YOU GOT TO REPLACE OR I WILL TELL MY FRIENDS TO GET DIFFRENT PHONES LIKE ROGERS AND I GOT LOTS OF FRIENDS TOO&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.itworldcanada.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=50253" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Canadians lambaste Bell Mobility, TELUS over "15 cent cash grab"</title><link>http://www.itworldcanada.com/blogs/15cents/2008/07/10/canadians-lambaste-bell-mobility-telus-over-15-cent-cash-grab/50196/#50244</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:11:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f052fe88-b600-4904-ab02-970bbd10f77f:50244</guid><dc:creator>Michelle</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;This is crazy!

I should not be responsible for paying for something that I didn&amp;#39;t ask for. 15 cents outgoing and 15 cents incoming... that is 30 cents for a few words of text. I could send a letter by mail, containing many words, for cheaper than 2 text messages.
