An interesting theory. I was billed(later credited) for making/receiving intl texts on my december bill. Had 37 last month, and 20 so far this month. I'm not sure if I buy the plus code dialing, and here's why: only 4 or 5 of my contacts had the 1 in front of their number(synced through Google Contacts). One of those contacts with a one+ number, I have exchanged around 150 texts since I installed handcent(late november). If the 1 preceding the area code were to blame, I would expect many more intl text charges. At any rate, I went through all my contacts and deleted the "1's". I'll report back if I keep getting charged for intl texts.
For Sprint's part, the reps at the store had not heard of the issue, but credited me back no problem(actually, a couple extra bucks just for padding). They said I'll just have to come in or call CS until this problem is resolved. Fun stuff!!
Update: 1/13/10 No new intl text charges showing since I removed the '1' preceding my contacts. I'm beginning to believe.
