Anyone see this pop up on their bill?
When I went online to pay my bill, it was $10 more than normal. I traced it to a new monthly charge on my daughter's line called "Mrs. Text." I talked to her briefly, she said she didn't do it. She's 25 now and wouldn't lie to me about something as small as a $10 charge. I went online to see what I could find. I found Ripoff Report had this to say from someone reporting it:

Fortunately I called my cell phone company because my bill was so high. They told me I had a "third party text" company that was charging me $9.95/month. I asked how in the heck that company "mrstext" got onto my cell phone bill and my cell phone. They said I must have downloaded it. No way. I already had unlimited text service through my cell phone company.
Fortunately, my cell phone company said they would cancel it and refund me the $9.95. I'll check in a few days and see if they did so. My cell phone company is T-Mobile. Did they "Okay" this sneaky download?
I called mrstext.com at 1-800-214-3052 and they said I knowingly submitted approval to their company and terms. Not true. They snuck themselves into my cell phone service bill. I hate it when internet companies insert themselves and charge you for your service.
Just beware and check your phone cell service bill just in case you got hit on, like I did.
