    Sprint Users can text their zip code to 62262 and will receive campaign updates...as far as I can see the only charges that apply are the standard text charges. I'm not sure if it will work fo other carriers but maybe worth a shot!

    Be careful with this thread guys. When politics come into play, it has the potential to turn ugly. Good luck!!

    I would like it if I didn't have to hear about BHO in this forum. Just my two cents worth.

    You might need to re-read the original post. The original poster just wanted to know if Sprint would have extra charges for this, they were not campaigning for any campaign, McCain or Obama.

    There are a lot of post, I don't want to read about in other forums but I don't post in every single forum, I don't like that I don't want to hear about this, just don't respond to the post.

    But to answer the OP question, there aren't additional charges. Sprint just counts it as a text sent and/or received.

    That is not even remotely close to the actual words OR intent of the post.

    May I suggest that "you" re-read the post?


    Make it 6 cents!

    -2 cents

    The thread title does include "Obama". You have the option to not read or even post about this topic if you choose. Especially if this is only your 1st or 5th post in the entire forum!! Its like the only reason you are here is to complain about politics.

    -2 more cents...

    Simply read the posts that DO interest you, and don't bother to be a child whining 'bout something that doesn't suit your particular tastes or opinions... just pass the post, w/o being obnoxious...

    A forum is for information sharing... that's what the OP was doing. If you don't want that info - don't read it, or access the link proffered in the post.
