Question
somehow i cant send my messages past 9 pm. verizon sends me a message saying something like the account owner has set a block on this time or something like that. how do i get around that? are there any apps i can get? i have the motorola droid. thanks!

Answer
Whoever owns your account, i.e., parents, etc., has set a block time of 9:00pm on your calling and texting. You can't get around this unless you are the account owner. There aren't any apps or anything else that can change this. You may want to talk to the account owner and see if they will allow you to text and call after 9:00pm. It's kind of strange that they did this, unless of course, you are a teenager, then they are probably trying to make sure that you aren't doing this all night long.
