    Texting to purchase Movie

    ADVERTS 1
    As anyone been successful with this? I've tried every which way to get it to work.

    Keeps responding to the text with the 531-3000 number to call.

    I have tried putting in just the channel , just the movie name itself, nothing is accepted.

    iPhone. Still not working. I can't understand anything their saying. I'm doing exactly like it says on 9981. This guy was a total beauty. Basically told me Its not available. Told him its all over the guide and he just kept reading a script that was not even relevant to my issue.

    Many customers having problems with this. My only fix is to recommend not to do it anymore. Just order by remote, call, or online.

    No text

    It now gives you the option to order by text. It's on screen. Go to certain ppv movies and you'll see it.

    Nah. Just blowing off steam. But it's pretty much with every call, no matter the issue. They talk fast and don't even take a breath.

    Sometimes it best to listen. It's like they don't want to hear or let you get a word in
