You can text anyone you want, its just not covered on the unlimited text plan. On that plan, you can only text other people on Verizon as much as you want. My best friend is on US Cellular and I thought I had unlimited texts so we were texting back and forth & I found that out when my dad got the bill.. lol. But that was a few months ago so they might have changed it. You might want to ask Verizon about it.

You can send a text message to anyone with a cell phone, no matter which service plan they have.

♥ Texting is different then calling. You can text anyone on any plan as long as they can except them. Im sure if you text within your plan those few will be free though. Goodluck texting!

you can text absolutely anyone, but only Verizon phones will be free. I have the same phone as you (I think) and the same plan, and I get 50 free texts to other companies (sprint, Nextel, Cingular, etc.)along with unlimited Verizon texting. So I'd check your bill, it'll be called your text allowance or something like that (Verizon to Verizon will be called UNLIMITED text). hope I helped ♥

Of course, I've never heard of a cell phone that will only let you text people on that plan. Because you have unlimmited text it should be compltely free for you. Usually it will cost money to text people with other companies (like it would cost for a cingular person to text a verizon) if your friend doesn't have unlimmited or at least a certain amount of free texting then it will cost them, but you can still do it, and it's free on your part. <p> Just text them the same way you would text anyone else, enter their number (or find their name in your address book and go to send message) and then do your text. I was told it's free to call and send text to people with the same company/plan thingy (ya know, cingular to cingular, verizon to verizon, etc.) <p> So yes, it's possible, just do it the same way you would text someone with the same as you.
