    Default Text message question...

    so... i am still on my family's family plan for my cell phone (it's a 2 year contract) I pay them 40 bucks a month.

    I Just got text messaging on my phone and I've never had it before. if I want to send someone a naughty text message or a message about work-- will the messages I send come up on the cell phone bill? Like can whoever controls the account see what I'm sending?

    No the actual text messages won't come up just the cost/how many messages you have sent.
    Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

    just the amount of pics sent... over a certain limit. most plans come with a limit of txts/pics per month- you only pay for the ones over that. but no, no one sees the content, just like no one hears your conversations. ... OR DO THEY>>>>>

    The pictures will only go to the phone(s) that you send them to. The "family plan" part of the deal generally only involves billing and things like shared talk minutes. Any sort of data that you send only goes to where you send it...thank God!

    The content of texts (any kind of texts including pics) is never saved by phone companies. It's a violation of privacy laws.

    From your recent posts it sounds like you have other financial obligations that might preclude that.

    But hey, if the iPhone makes you happy...shit, all the girls I know with iPhones get hit on left and right! Those phones are dead sexy. And I don't think their invoices have details on the contents of the text messages like they once did when the iPhone first came out.

    My dad told me he could see my texts and I had to earn my right to have that feature removed by getting good grades. I feel like such a sucker now.

    Just an FYI regarding the picture mail;

    since you're onh your family's plan, the main account holder can log onto the picture mail account of any of the phone numbers under the plan & see any/all received picture mail, & with some carriers, sent picture mail.

    i doubt your parents will go through all the trouble of setting up an account online through the picturemail website just to see your pics coming & going, but if they're anything like mine, they would.

    just to be safe, i'd suggest not going to over the top with the picture mail... until you get your own plan.

    but you're all good with the text messaging!

    This also depends on the carrier of the plan. Ones that do not use the SIM cards have a securtity flaw that can 'accidently' allow another user on your plan access to your voicemail and copies of your texts, coming and going. I have a friend here who now has complete copies of her husbands phone dallying without his knowledge. Every time he recieves a text or sends one, a copy is transmitted to her phone. They are going through a divorce, go figure.... I don't know of any SIM card problems. My bill shows the phone numbers that we receive and send texts to (just like calling) and the amount of data transfered but not any info from the text.

    I think it depends on the phone and service...
    online I can look at each number I texted to and received a text from... but it doesn't say what I said in my texts.
    as far as pictures... online there is a saved list of my address book, emails(sent and received from my phone) and all the pictures saved in my gallery. It's an automatic thing tmobile does for my phone and everytime I save/delete a picture, it updates on it's own. My phone is under my moms name but she doesnt even know the pw to log on to it online so I'm safe.lol. just double check and make sure your phone doesnt do anything like that.
