Having been hit with this same charge on my phone bill, I too called the 800 # for Agora which referred me to the 800 # for Integretel, where I left a message. Integretel called back the same day. It turns out that I apparently did inadvertently sign up through Jackpot.com. I thought I had been extremely careful going through their series of pages trying to sign you up for everything under the sun. I would never have knowingly signed up for anything that cost me money and I certainly don't need a nationwide messaging system. I have no idea how it happened and do not want to revisit the site to try and figure it out. Who knows what they'll sign me up for next. Integretel was very accommodating and pleasant about cancelling the account. So the real culprits here are Jackpot.com and our own human frailties. I know nothing about Integretel but hate to see anyone get a bad rap for the wrong reason. The real fault lies somewhere in the Jackpot.com arena.
