- Ease of Use

Blinko charged my pre-paid card for text messages I never authorized. Now, when I try to get all my money refunded to my pre-paid card, I never receive a response. All I get is there is no such e-mail website. I had to put a block on my text messages, so now I cannot even use the services that Verizon offers me because of Blinko. I wish there was a way to get the refund from Blinko credited to my prepaid card!

I don't know if it will help, but I sent this email today to Blinko, an FCC Commissioner and 2 Verizon executives:
"Just after 1pm on September 3rd, an unsolicited premium SMS message from 42222 was sent to my Verizon Wireless cell phone (***.***.****). Sure, the messages stated that I could reply with STOP to opt out (which never worked by the way - always undeliverable), but in any case, I never opted in to any trivia game or otherwise.
Imagine my surprise when I reviewed my last Verizon Wireless phone bill to discover that a monthly Premium SMS message charge of $9.99 had been levied. Please review page 17 of the attached Verizon Wireless statement. For the purposes of processing a refund, you will find my billing address on page 1. Please treat the entire statement as confidential information.
I need to know that you will be cooperating with reversing any and all 42222 Premium SMS charges made to my phone, in which case we can simply write this off as an accounting mistake. For informational purposes, I have copied an FCC Commissioner and Verizon executives on this email."
