If I can't read it, I won't!

I didn't know I cold even get text messages until I got one, and I didn't know I was charged for opening it until I got the bill. I don't now and never will text message on a cell phone.
I went to my cell phone account on-line but couldn't find a way to turn off text messaging, but a fast email telling my provider that if they couldn't block it I would find a provider that could.
It took less then 5 minutes to get a reply and it is blocked. It is nice to be past the contract period.
