Alrighty... here goes. In preparation for PAX, I'm turning on incoming SMS messaging for certain PAXers.
Can anyone confirm that with Telus, incoming text messages don't count against a monthly text message limit?
Getting flubby and doing something about it. Crazy how it just creeps up on you! w00t. 20 situps. K, I'm done 4evar.
