Verizon Wireless, who earlier this month had announced that it would impose a $.03 per SMS sending fee on November 1, has reversed course. An email sent from OpenMarket, an SMS aggregator, to it's customers yesterday outlined the new Verizon decision: "...Verizon has communicated to us that the November 1 2008 date for the $0.03 per message fee increase is no longer applicable. Verizon is continuing business discussions in regards to this critical issue. We will update you immediately as we receive additional information from Verizon." So, no fee increase on November 1st. But, that doesn't mean that there won't be one by some future date. Please stay tuned. --- MobileBounceBack.com
