I received my e-mail reply from Paypal about the premium text SMS issue with thePayPal moblie security key. It was just a generic message about that the security key is, and how to order the physical key. It did not address my issue with the premium messaging through Verizon Wireless.

If companies with more competition had similar customer service, they would soon be out of business.
