Just about every cell phone company offers unlimited text messages for five or ten bucks a month and I am almost positive that Verizon is one of them.
I pay my Verizon bill at the local office, it’s all automated, I punch in my number, swipe a debit card and it’s done.
Before I get out of the office my phone beeps, Verizon sends me a text message telling me that my bill has been paid.
