- You can block certain types of data features, such as web, application download, ringback tone purchase, etc. This doesn't completely eliminate the chance of seeing a per MB charge if on a "Feature" phone, but it does mean that you're allowing picture/video/a...

And blocked data blocks picture/video texting. They go out via interwebz.
Enjoy the $10 charge for data you don't use.
