Letters: Fighting cellphone ‘cram’ fees
Re “To FCC: Ban cell ‘cram’ billing,” Column, March 29
David Lazarus’ article on the evils of cellphone cramming delineates the financial problems and conflicts of interests involved in having the receiving party pay for unauthorized charges.
His solution of blocking individual or all third-party text messages misses the simplest solution: The sender should be charged for wanted, unwanted and unsolicited calls, texts, robocalls, advertising calls and wrong numbers, not only in money and time but in many cases the use of limited plan minutes.
Like mail from the U.S. Postal Service, the receiving party should not pay for any texts or calls initiated by others.
